Max Hastings

The first book downloaded onto my Kindle: Max Hastings's latest work, Finest Years: Churchill as Warlord, 1940-1945 (HarperPress, 2009; file size: 1713 KB; print length: 576 pages).
A very favourable review of this study appeared in The Sunday Times.



History buffs will remember two of the author's other outstanding books, Armageddon: The Battle for Germany, 1944-1945 and Nemesis: The Battle for Japan, 1944-1945.
Max Hastings is at the top of the game, and ranks alongside luminaries of military history such as John Keegan, Richard Overy and Antony Beevor.
