Fiction-OLD FLAMES by Jack Ketchum. Pretty good little novella of a damaged woman seeking to reconnect with her old boyfriend. The fact he's married with teens doesn't deter her from her quest.
Non-Fiction-BRITISH BUTCHERS AND BUNGLERS OF WORLD WAR ONE by John Laffin. The author has a serious issue with WW1 British generals for their unrealistic and uncaring attitudes towards unattainable goals and appallingly massive casualties for little or no gain. The Battle of the Somme is one example with 60,000 casualties the FIRST day and by the time it ended in November, another 400,000 was added.
