Neville talked about Bill Birtles’ book Talk About China which he found a bit patchy. Birtles is the ABC’s China correspondent based in Taiwan. Neville was also reading some of the complete works of Shakespeare, and talked about the difficulty of understanding some plot lines and characters.
Graham had just acquired Disaster Capitalism by Antony Lowenstein, which has given him a much greater understanding of the global munitions industry.
David had just read the Splendid and the Vile, a Saga of Churchill, Family and Defiance During the Blitz. It is mostly a domestic look at the lives of Winston Churchill and his family and close associates in the first year of WWII, after he was elected prime minister. Highly recommended.
