Just finished "First Circle" by Solzhenitsyn . Russian prison life bios after WW11 . You can't
believe the way they treated political prisoners - most on ten year sentences for nothing !
While stationed in Germany 55-56, I saw on TV the first German POWs from Russia being returned
10 years after the end of WW!!. Sad looking bunch and no one to greet them !

Cannot recommend Empire of the Summer Moon enough.Danny Phantom said:
I got Empire of the Summer Moon a couple days ago & I'm flying through it. Awesome read so far!
For my next book I'm not sure exactly what to get & was wondering if anybody had any good Civil War recommendations? I've been looking at Gwynne's Hymns of the Republic, Goodhearts 1861: The Civil War Awakening & McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom.

There is a recent (maybe the most recent?) Dan Carlin Hardcore History Adendum podcast with the author regarding this book....might be worth checking out if you haven't already
