[DoctorStrangelove]

Next: "Uranium: War, Energy and the rock that shaped world" by Tom Zoellner.

Done: off to Oxfam with it. Well there's a thing: the pitchblende out of the Congo mine was 65% uranium and the legacy is known even yet as "K-65" since it's the most radioactive processed waste, riddled with decay products to an extent unknown for other sources.

Next: "The Mare's Nest" by David "Hitler never knew" Irving. Revised slightly to acknowledge the existence of ULTRA (but not very much).

Well that's something I've not read about elsewhere: Hauptman Herbert "Peter" Cleff: the POW who told some inneresting tales.

Done: off to Oxfam with it. We should be eternally grateful for the resources wasted on the A4: it held up a lot of projects that might otherwise have caused more deaths & prolonged the war: £12k per V2 vs £125 per V1.

But there you go: he aimed for the moon & sometimes hit London. .

Next: TBD.

Next: "Too much and never enough" by Mary Trump. More about the Moronic Orange psychopath.

Done: off to Oxfam whence it came. If only that kid had used a bolt action 30-06 instead of a pop gun. Ho hum.

Next: TBD. But it won't be about the orange draft dodging mother****er.

"Too much and never enough"

I read that. She's obviously got an axe to grind, but it does sort of explain some of his behaviour. Some pretty shocking stuff in there, like the banks giving him an allowance to keep up the pretence everything is going OK.
