And re 'Total War', the answer is 'very little'. 'Stranger than Fiction' only devotes three pages at the beginning of Chapter Ten to Total War, and the two War Papers on which it was based (14 & 20) are not reproduced. Possibly because Total War (or a version of it) had already been published, and p...

Thanks,Darren, I'm delighted the idea finds favour with you. Regrettably so far the only interest I have seen is what you can see on this page, so at the moment we're are some way away from having a critical mas for what Franklin and I would most like to do - to end up with a champagne reception (th...

A London Field Trip - ?
Ken's latest on the 2016 Convention prompts a post on something that Franklin and I have been discussing on-and-off. We have been wondering if at some stage we should have a London Field Trip. We could see the sites (and in two or three places the actual buildings) where DW lived, visit the road whe...

To bring this thread back to Wheatley-land, I really wonder which way DW would have voted. He loved Europe, with its wines and individual cultures, and had strong views on how it should be re-organised post World War II - as evidenced by some of his War Papers reprinted in Stranger Than Fiction. He ...

Research done - sorry it took a while, but I was in South East Asia last month, and it's taken me a while to dig myself back into everything. Farmers Weekly appears to have come out every Friday, and each week they seem to have reprinted two chapters from the book. Nearly everything is as per the pu...

Similar question to the one in my last post - how much did you, Steve, or indeed other posters, enjoy it ? I don't believe DW thought too much of it (reasons to follow in an update later this year, dv), but I must confess I rather enjoyed it, and I felt very sorry for Julian being let down in love y...
