2 comments about Diary of Charles Francis Adams, Volumes 1 and 2, January 1820 - September 1829 (Adams Papers).

1. This is a book that you will read over and over again. It is facinating to read day to day account so of life in the early 1800's written by the son and grandson of a President. In many ways, Charles Francis Adams was like every college student going to partys, dating, learning and attending lectures. Charles also wrote personal accounts of debates on the floor of Congress and gives great insight into the thoughts of his day that shaped the United States early in the development of this country. This book is also available in several paperback volumes at far a more affordable price.



2. I found this book to be slow and yet strangely compelling. Many entries are just one or two lines. And yet I was interested and then intrigued and couldn't put it down. There is something very appealing about him, a consistency and common sense that is not so common actually. Unless you're a fanatic about history or the Adams dynasty it might not be worth buying but definately worth checking out of the library.

2 comments about Greatest Generation Anecdotes: Anecdotes, Epigrams and Like Episodes in the Context of the Ww II Era.

1. The book is different in that it tells much of the irony rather than of the hell of war. Much of the work is in the form of anecdotes, epigrams and like episodes in the context of the WW II era. It reads as though it is by somebody who lived and knows what he's writing about, serving as a court reporter and with the Army Field Historical Section in WW II in Ireland England, Wales, Scotland, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Sicily, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
   In its own way it reminded a little of "Tales Of The South Pacific."



2. After reading Charles Day's excerpt posted on the Xlibris website it is clear that he has crafter a sound and cohesive collection of interesting WW II anecdotes.
