charlotte cardoen-descamps Posted 16 October , 2004 Share Posted 16 October , 2004 I am currently reading a book "Storm over Flanders" written by Winston Groom. I have never before heard of this author but I definately enjoy his style. Although I haven't finished it yet, it sure gives me the feeling that the author has done a lot of research before he started writing this book. Has anyone else read this book and what is your opinion on it? Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted 16 October , 2004 Share Posted 16 October , 2004 I haven`t read it, Charlotte, but would like to know what you think about it. What`s it about, briefly? Phil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 16 October , 2004 Share Posted 16 October , 2004 You probably have heard of him - without realising it. He wrote the original book of 'Forrest Gump'..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrB Posted 16 October , 2004 Share Posted 16 October , 2004 Winston Groom is a southern boy who was. at first, a novelist. ]Better Times Than These (from Garry Owen) was one of his best. It has to do with the Viet Nam war. And, as staffsyeoman wrote, we can not forget Forrest Gump. From a history standpoint, Shrouds of Glory, the Confederate retreat from Atlanta to Nashville is well done as is Storm Over Flanders which is a good review of the three Ypres "battles." Hope this helps. DrB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
