I was quite fascinated by George Washington and wrote several papers on him. Since then though my favorite has switched to WWII and I can't get enough of it!

There are so many good novels out there taking various sides - Sabatini's "Scaramouche," Hugo's "Les Mis," and Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities," besides Orczy's subsequent Pimpernel novels, and they spurred further study on my part. <br /><br />There were a lot of similarities between the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution, which I studied later in college, and so that war took precedence later on. Books about it tend to be a lot more depressing, though, having largely been written by Russians and not outside sources that see the adventure and not as much the sorrow.Rachael Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235781577625847862noreply@blogger.com
