    Indeed. It also seems he is an author who has dropped off the radar due to the passage of time. Replaced by names like Ambrose, Beevor, et al.

    I agree. However, Beevor (who I personally enjoy) doesn't get much love on this forum, LOL. His last attempt on the Battle of the Bulge didn't review well.

    10.5 years later.
    Top of the head:

    John Buckley.
    David Fletcher.
    Alanbrooke.
    Bart Vanderveen.
    Max Hastings (yeah, yeah, I know, but he can write.)

    Still amazes me anyone enjoys Beevor. (Enjoy his ghastly Spain book. I dare you!)
    Depresses me how often Ambrose crops up.

    It never amazes me how much I enjoy "Beevor" :D

    Sorry, you set that up perfectly.
