Actually it's almost the middle of April but I thought it would be good to start a thread of what everyone is reading each month. Janelle had started something similar in a weekly format. So, tell us, what are you reading this month in the History genre?

Mark Twain: An Illustrative Biography by Geoffrey C.Ward

 

I thought it was going to be a typical coffee-table book but it is really good. It has alot of detail without being a trivia-type book.

First time on this forum!  I'm rereading UTAH BEACH by Joseph Balkoski.  I love his WWII books; he packs his books with interesting stories from the top down to the individual.
