Stesiak Checkmate Productions, 2002 Through a Soldier Eyes I have read books on the Vietnam Era but they have all been from the academic/political point of view. This is the first book that I have read that brought me down to ground level and allowed me to see the war through the eyes of those fighting it. Whether the war was right or wrong is irrelevent; these men answered their country's call, draft or not, and fought in what is quite arguably one of ...             Checkmate5 reviews Malorie Blackman NY, 1980 GREAT! but obviously not as breath-taking as the first one (rating: 4 stars and a half) Personnally, as a teen, i loved Noughts and Crosses. It's my favorite book to date and Checkmate really ended the trilogy on a good note. It was great, though i suggest to not read this one first and really start with the first one (Noughts and Crosses). I do think the whole trilogy really goes deep and the whole series makes an amazing gift for a teen (not for ...             Checkmate at Ruweisat: Auchinleck's Finest Hour2 reviews Donald Grey Brownlow Christopher Pub House, 1977 "Must" reading for all World War II military history buffs.
