Les Carlyon, The Great War. Doc­u­ment­ing Aus­tralian stor­ies from indi­vidual sol­diers to the indif­fer­ent com­mand­ers on the west­ern front of World War I. Excel­lent 2.5 day read. Highly recom­men­ded for lov­ers of Aus­tralian Mil­it­ary His­tory, and a good fol­lowup to Les’ pre­vi­ous tome, Gal­lipoli. It also doc­u­ments the inter­fer­ence of then journ­al­ists Charles Bean and Keith Mur­doch in mil­it­ary and polit­ical mat­ters. That would never hap­pen today, right?

US ver­sion of The Office. Not as tightly writ­ten as the extremely ori­ginal UK ver­sion, but a fun watch.

Yes, Prime Min­is­ter.

Re-watched Band of Broth­ers. Always good.

Nemesis, by Max Hast­ings. I love Hasting’s his­tor­ies of World War II.

Cur­rently read­ing Fin­ished The Viet­nam Years by Michael Caufield, and the auto­bi­o­graphy of Richard Ham­mond.
