Thank you for the invite. I enjoy history, especially World War II nonfiction. My personal book is a nonfictional book that revolves around World War II, told in an unconventional manner. Happy to be a member.

Hi Ed. Thanks for joining in with the rest of our history lovers.

Hi Ed and welcome to the group.

Hi Ed, welcome to the group.

I tried to send a better introduction but I think it failed to go through. I'll try again. Hoping to get to know everybody better.

Ed.....your intro in message #180 got through.

Ed,

Let me add my welcome to the group - Welcome! Welcome!

A thank you to everyone who has welcomed me to the group. Looking forward to getting to know everyone a little better.

Don't feel badly. I had the same problem. It works for some folks, but not for others I have decided. What are your interests (I mean with regards history, obviously!).

Sorry to all, if I havent Sorry, I'm still learning how to navigate through this site. I recently completed a book on my family, and my old neighborhood in Dearborn, Michigan. The first half of the book deals with World War II from a different perspective than most. My father was in the German Luftwaffe and my mother was Polish. The book details how they met, separated, and how they managed to reunite after Stalin dropped his Iron Curtain. That was a long way of saying I'm interested in all history, but mostly about World War I and II.

Sure would like to edit that last comment????

I believe that the failure of many to understand the 20th century is the result of our failure to understand the antecedents and meaning of the FIRST World War. Lots of folks know about the SECOND, but the first is sort of a "footnote" in history instead of being what it was -- the beginning of everything else.

Valerie, you are so right. The ramifications of the First World War changed future historical events more than most people realize.

Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.

@Valerie and Ed......you might want to pop over to the WWI thread where this conversation is continuing.

Not sure how to get there? I'll work on it

¡Buenos días! Soy Nieves Noguera Ojados y acabo de unirme a este grupo. Me gusta leer libros de historia, novela histórica o ficción histórica. Con la época que más disfruto es la Edad Antigua y Edad Media, pero no descarto ninguna otra. Espero que tengamos buenas conversaciones. Un saludo a todos.

Me alegra mucho que hayas venido, Nieves.
