Blockade

I want to welcome everyone to the first reading of the next book.

The book is called Blockade, The Diary of an Austrian Middle-Class Woman, 1914 to 1924 by Anna Eisenmenger.

This was first published in the States in 1932, and it was translated out of German by Winifred Gray, who did a lot of translating back in the day.

So this isn't an internet translation.

Thank you.

See you soon.

I want to welcome everyone back to part two of my reading of Blockade by Anna Eisenmenger.

Before I get started, I want to remind everyone that Thomas and I, Thomas777 and I are doing watch and comment parties on movies.

The United States Navy has the Strait open and Iran closed.

What do you make of that turn of events? It turns out the blockade is there.

Blockades are hard to do.

Pitt tried to do one against Napoleon, generally worked.

Napoleon tried to do one against Pitt, didn't work.
