 e at the Daily Mirror have been taken to task by an anonymous commenter (an SBC Global subscriber ISP 75.50.124.114) for focusing on "crap" rather than more intellectually stimulating fare. Anon@yahoo.com (I tend to suspect this is a pseudonym, though I could be wrong) bemoans the demise of the book review section in published editions of The Times and the brevity of published theater listings.Although I am unable to do anything about either situation, I hope you will enjoy Robert R. Kirsch's 50-year-old review of Frank Freidel's "The Splendid Little War." I trust you will find this more to your liking, Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms. 75.50.124.112. Please note that "Splendid Little War" has been reissued and is ranked 1,160,900 in Amazon sales. With luck, this post may give it a nice little bump.  And now back to the regularly scheduled mayhem.... |
