Jim, I'd like to read that trilogy, and enjoyed his "The British are Coming". The rap on his WWII trilogy is that he's very prejudiced against Patton - what is your takeaway on that?

On the other side of WWII, I'm re-reading "The Conquering Tide", 2nd of 3 volumes by Ian Toll about the sea war in the Pacific. His 3rd volume just came out, and it's been quite a while since I read the first two volumes when they came out.
