Prompted by a post on the other place from @spitfirefilly.bsky.social, flexing her post second world war 2 muscles; a multi era threat. A good book. As they say, read it and weep. Found the postcards in the back. #histbookchat

#HistBookChat offering for the week is more of a display of books on my new rotating book tower. Nowhere near enough room for them all but it's a good start and I have been able to rescue several titles from being stored under the bed!

So next after Grant's Memoirs, I'm looking forward to reading about Varney's arguments in this book about Grant's efforts to use history to undermine Rosecrans and provide cover for Grant.
