Ahhhhh!  Someone else actually read that book!

@Geo:

the belgians even get a mention

Last line?.. 'To conclude: the Belgians are the best of all €uros. Especially the bald ones.'

[Geo]

last line exempting notes, appendices etc is Tremulae sinuantur flamine vestes

the belgians were (foot)noted merely as being named after a tribe of goths

EUROPE: Glad to know it's do-able, been on my shelf for years, with another of his, about WWII. Meawhile, I've been reading some true adventure books, not that history isn't, one being GODFORSAKEN SEA by Derek Lundy, about a round-the-world one-man sailing race. With Giles's friend Ian's continuing onslaught of the seas, thought it may be of interest, then along comes this list today from the BY&N Review page: http://tinyurl.com/4y6r8cj

Shit, I need all the books on that page….....
