Talk about learning what military history is really all about - try teaching the guys who have been there! (This was pre 9/11 so it was a lot of discussion of Somalia, Desert Storm, Central America, Korea, etc.)<BR/><BR/>I have some WWI in the YA book I'm working on...it's the conflict that fascinates me the most as pretty much everything else in the 20th century stems from it.<BR/><BR/>Okay, no more hijacking the Ysabeau interview for my own personal obsession!<BR/><BR/>ColleenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-71430393962097850062007-06-18T13:22:00.000-07:002007-06-18T13:22:00.000-07:00Great interview!I haven't read "Flora Segunda," bu...Great interview!<BR/><BR/>I haven't read "Flora Segunda," but it's been on my to-read list for months.
