Why the hate for Del Ray?

I meant his personal publishers, not Del Ray. I've had a run-in or two with them.

One of the most engrossing books I've picked up in awhile. Remarkably easy to read as well. Kershaw does an excellent job of exploring the political underpinnings of Europe during the period. Some of his lines of reasoning are refreshingly different from conventional wisdom.

Only about 90 pages or so. Just finished with WWI. The political upheavals are about to begin.

About to start My Enemy, My Ally by Diane Duane for the second time since 1984. It's mirth's fault.

Lumberg Ludendorff says 'yeah if you could take out the Russians by 1917 that would be GREAT.'

Good luck, bbmike!  Here's hoping you enjoy it more this time around.  The Rihannsu novels are almost certainly my favorite Star Trek series.
