Thanks for the suggestions; I'll look out for them. Thank you for the links as well, they are much appreciated.

Have you read any good historical books recently, that you'd suggest reading? Or documentaries I should look out for?

No worries.

"Philosophy section"?

Also, when did MIM come back.

Ah, I see. Well we share a passion as teaching history is something I'd like to do. My main eras are the Early Middle Ages, The Industrial Revolution and the Early 20th Century (especially the world wars and the Russian and Chinese revolutions). What are yours?

What are you a teacher of? If you don't mind me asking? Are you an history teacher, as most history teachers I know are communists? Not that it is good to generalise.

If you like film reviews, you should follow the APL's main commentary and analysis site the Red Phoenix.

Hi are you going onto Yahoo messenger today?

Ah, I'll have to check that book out as it covers the same events. A very interesting period of history and some of the most important events of the 20th century, a very important decade in itself.

You are welcome comrade. Though not a book, you might want to check out 'Fall of Eagles', a docudrama series about the fall of most the empires in Europe (who all had eagles as emblems). It is mostly accurate, unbiased and does a good job of humanizing most of the characters. The first episodes are interesting, mostly about Prussia and Austria, but the latter episodes are even more so, being mostly about Russia and the revolution, and covers most things from the Tsar's naivety and stupid idea that his people love him, the Tsarina's influence on the Tsar, the charlatans' influence on the Tsarina, the decadence of the aristocracy, the success and failure of Kerensky, the well-meaning Gapon and his vanity and greed, and of course the struggle of the Bolsheviks and the activities of Lenin, Trotsky and others. It does a good job of portraying many of the ''teams'' in Russia at the time in a very non-partisan way.
