I learned about this from this Spies and Ties episode. The summary video is interesting enough --- the full book is an AMAZING story of politics, science, and combat. Highly recommended.
I first read Jurassic Park in high school, waiting for the movie to hit theatres. I think I re-read it once or twice in the years immediately after, but hadn't touched it since. I just re-read it.
Lunadamn, this book is good. I mean, Crichton is always good, but this was GOOD. I particularly liked how simple and straightforward the writing was, in order to carry the big action and big ideas. I've added Rising Sun to my Audible queue, I've never read that one, but it, too, was a big topic of discussion between classes when the movie was just out and I was in high school.
Six Air Forces Over the Atlantic: How Allied Airmen Helped Win the Battle of the Atlantic, Molyson. Interesting. A little short and perfunctory, but good.
Currently reading Under the Southern Cross: The South Pacific Air Campaign Against Rabaul, which is really good so far, and also currently re-reading The Price of Glory: Verdun 1916, an all-time favorite.
