Having read it, I'd say that it's based on fact but been embellished.

Good read though.

Ya i really enjoyed it.

Just finished this, book one of four.

Fictional journal of the survivor of a future Apocolypse, that may or may not include zombies.

Only 131 pages long, really easy read and captivating. Tailor made for a film.

Just ordered the other three.

found this to be a very good read.another example of western powers fighting there little wars in other countries albeit back in the cold war era.only way to beat guerillas is to fight a guerilla war like the germans in the devils guard.americans didn't learn any lessons from it anyway.

I'm about half way through The History of the Russian Revolution written by Trosky. Fascinating stuff, obviously it's written from his own personal perspective and is anything other then impartial but still an extremely interesting read all the same.

It's far from a quick light read mate but if you enjoy history as much as I do then it's far from boring. Just an acquired taste is all.

If you like Russia but want something a bit lighter, you could try the Inspector Pekkala series, which are detective novels set in the time of the Romanovs and Stalin.

130-ish pages in the 0.5 and 600+ for book 1 - both at €0.99 - can't really go wrong. Thanks for the tip.

I'd not necessarily recommend starting out with Trotsky's work mate. As you suggested its not exactly a light read, there's better books available to start out with that are more impartial from a historical perspective.

No, only got a Sicilian Mafia one (Cosa Nostra by John Dickie).

Just had a laugh when I looked on the Kindle for Russian mafia, though. Apparently, Russian mafia 'Shades of Grey'-style adult romance is a 'big thing' - your secret is safe with me.
