Highly Recommend Middlebrook's Books
I have read many of his books, among them on the Strategic bombing campaign against German, his book "Convoy" and his book "Arnhem 1944". Although his style of writing is dry, what really attracts me is his attention to detail which is described in a way the layman can easily understand. For example in "Arnhem" he explains in some detail how the gliders worked, and what happened to those that were accidently cut loose before they reached the landing zones. In "Convoy" he describes the merchant marine, they type of men who served on them and the number of casualties they suffered, in addition to describing the military personnel involved. All of this in addition to the description of the main engagement. He liberally quotes from those who actually participated. I highly recommend all of his books and I look forward to reading those that I have not yet come across. —Preceding unsigned comment added by בן-ציוןממ (talk • contribs) 15:49, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Personal detail removed
I've removed personal detail which seemed irrelevant to the article, since his notability arises from his work as a writer, and not the few months he spent in a Catholic seminary or his aunt's bagpipe playing. Ning-ning (talk) 07:39, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
