Imperial War Museum

A staid British slightly jingoistic history of the war divided into chapters where each chapter has an image of a thematically central object from the British War Museums. You can read it right through, but the chapters also stand alone. It is an attractive book and (but?) unreferenced. The author claims that the expression "chatting"as in schmoozing comes from times when WWI soldiers were talking and picking chats (lice) from themselves. This seems to be almost certainly incorrect.

Entertaining, though by its nature fairly shallow, guidebook to the Churchill War Rooms underneath Whitehall in Central London. The presentation does give you a nice flavour for what the rooms would have been like when they were in serious use.
