Does anyone know a good book about Spain in WW2? Why didn't they jump in with the other facsists? And it was a place of spies from what I have read.

One of my favs has always been "The Years Best Sportswriting...." Unfortunately I have fallen down the last couple years but just ordered my 2023 edition. (I bet some of you are in my books.)
Awesome!! I won't ask you to reveal yourself (but PM me if you want).Just found out last week I'm in the back of the book this year.

As someone who's taken calls, typed up faxes, and arranged emailed obituaries for nearly 30 years, what are the two other books you have on the subject? Are they worth reading?![]()
I like reading obituaries, and I like reading about obituaries. I have at least two other books on the subject, and I was looking forward to this one, and it was a waste of time and money. It reads like the authors did a Google search of "interesting facts about death" and put the results into book form. There's absolutely no depth to the content at all. The authors are podcast hosts, not writers, and I'm not hating on podcast hosts. I know several, and many of them are good writers and researchers. These folks aren't.
Joe Bob says do NOT check it out.
Billy Summers by Stephen King. About a hired ashashin (timely!) on one last job. Straightforward thriller from King, nothing paranormal, but probably my favorite of his since 11/22/63.
