Thank you for your comments. When people ask me what they should read about the Vietnam War; A Bright Shining Lie the first on the list.

Oops, there I am on my soapbox again.
Have a great 2012!

It's "Number Eight" wire that refer to. For us, it's a version of duck (duct) tape.
I'm glad you enjoyed NZ and Hamilton in particular. That is now the second largest city in the country.

I was interested to see that you have a copy of "Moko" in your library.

Thanks for your comment. Regarding your father, you should check NARA's National Archives Personnel Records Center at http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/
They should have further information on your father's service.
regarding his trip to Europe during Summer 1939, I would doubt very seriously that it had to do with being some type of observer. Rules were different then and officers could take extended leaves, although he may have also gone to a medical conference or two, or even interacted with Medical Officers of the different countries.
Hope that this helps.

Why do we keep those repulsive books, anyway? Do you make your friends look at them, too? It's the literary equivalent of "Oh, this food is sooo bad. C'mon, taste it!"

I love visiting your blog. I have learned quite a few things from it. I am taking pictures of my dolls and building a little album to show you. It's still a work in progress.

As far as a Pakistani perspective goes, I found it interesting. Certainly the book created a bit of a stir here with regards to the implied criticism of President Zardari's ability to actually run the country and his apparent approval of drone strikes on Pakistani territory (while the govt. criticizes the drone strikes in the media back here). But none of these were startling revelations and generally speaking I don't think the book had much to say about the actual impact of American polices over here, or indeed what Pakistani policymakers were thinking and doing. A couple of books I read recently that deal with that subject in more detail are Zahid Hussain's "Frontline: Pakistan" and "The Scorpion's Tail". The first goes up to 2007 and the second to 2010. Zahid Hussain is a journalist (he writes for the Wall Street Journal amongst others) with a great deal of experience in the region and some fairly good contacts within the Pakistani military establishment. Unfortunately I couldn't find the time to write up reviews that do justice to the books. There's a certain amount of overlap (for some reason every author who writes a book about Pakistan feels the need to spend several chapters summarizing Pakistani history from independence to the present) but both are interesting reads.
It would be interesting to examine just how the compromise strategy arrived at by the Obama administration has played out over the last two years. What effect has it had? Certainly the rift between Pakistan and the US has never been wider even as the two countries try to find ways to work with each other.
