For Veteran's Day ...

For Veterans Day, Tom Bruscino at Rebunk recommends some books. Esther MacCallum-Stewart's blog, What a Lovely War or Break of Day in the Trenches is a terrific resource for her interests in World War I. Scroll down. It is astonishingly rich in the literature of the war. And don't miss James Bender's Anglo-Dutch Wars, another specialized history blog.

Like Liberty & Power's Chris Matthew Sciabarra, I'm raising hell with Atlanta's ABC affiliate for refusing to show Steven Spielberg's"Saving Private Ryan" tonight.

On a sad note, IrisChang, the author of The Rape of Nanking (1997) has committed suicide in California.
