I wrapped up some "commemorative" re-reading. For the anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea, I read the Osprey Campaign number on the battle-the only book specifically on the battle that I have-followed up by John Lundstrom's "First Team: Pacific Naval Air Combat from Pearl Harbor to Miday". That includes the Coral Sea, naturally. Then I read Walter Lord's "Incredible Victory" and Parshall & Tully's "Shattered Sword" for the Midway anniversary. And today I read through Cornelius Ryan's "The Longest Day". So I'm good till the Fourth.

Prost!

"Hitler's Final Fortress - Breslau 1945" by Richard Hargreaves. A very well-written account of the brutal last months of the war. It doesn't just focus on the final battle but the preamble including the disastrous civilian evacuations. Hargreaves also has a new book "Opening the Gates of Hell" about the first two months of the invasion of Russia in 1941.
