Nelson & His World

I've just added a post to the Information section - take a look, as the Naval & Military Press have an amazing sale until midday 18th January, and you may not want to miss it.

A superb website! And I note they have an offer on 'Agent Zigzag' which I've mentioned INW - an incredible story of a hero/crook double agent in WW2. Incidentally, the author, Ben MacIntyre has just published 'Operation Mincemeat' the true story of the WW2 ruse when the dead body of a tramp was given a totally convincing false identity, including the announcement of his death in 'The Times', and dropped by a submarine off the coast of Spain to be washed ashore. The 'information' on the body totally misled the Germans. Macintyre is a brilliant writer so this promises to be spellbinding - though he's lucky to start with such amazing raw material.

Yes, this looks to be a website worth returning to. Perhaps they have a book on spelling/typing (I typed amaxing in the 'subject'). I've not read Agent ZigZag but have it lurking somewhere, so must dig it out.
