    Yep…………thanks for that. Been there, done that, but nothing that gives me a GOOD historical read on this one.

    I have a few nice period books. There’s a new ‘Kiffin’ book out soon…………….but wondered if the experts know of a REALLY great historical read on these few Americans who volunteered whilst the rest of the US sat back and watched the destruction.

    Regards, SF.

    Hi.

    Have now read this book. It is interesting, although it does seem to just end suddenly.

    With reference to his artwork. I have seen a few reproductions in books, but looking at this particular publication, it is such a shame that the pictures [ paintings / sketches ] cannot be seen in anything but tiny format black and white.

    I can only repeat my question to the experts. Has anyone compiled this artwork in a better format such that it can actually be appreciated. This guy seems to have been a very accomplished artist.

    Regards, Simon.

    Just received, not yet read it, but his Lafayette book is a good read.

    It will cost postage only, so …………………………………..

    Anyone want this ?

    If not it will be incinerated, as I don’t have room for ‘doubled-up’ copies of books.
