  1. Episode 273: The Guns of August

    Hi chaps first time poster long time listener. Just writing to say I very much enjoyed the Guns of August series and in particular the Commander one. I would just like to point out that you may need to add H. Strachan's short book on WW1 as it covers even in the non discrete "front" aspect of war in the balkans including mixed armies of Turk's, Austro/Hungary, and German's. He also notes the wide ranging experiences of the Indian army in Africa, Middle east and Western Europe. http://www.amazon.com/The-First-World-War-Strachan/dp/0143035185 Frankly a much more enjoyable book than Hastings one as Strachan's polemic is focused on how it really was a World War and a much wider "experience" than muddy, barbed wired, western Europe (prior to Hastings Book). Thanks for the podcast guys and kind regards.
