Achtung Schweinehund!

Yesterday, I had to go up to my toy/wargame room to look for a book ... and found a copy of Harry Pearson's ACHTUNG SCHWEINEHUND! I sat down in my chair to just skim through it ... and an hour later I was still there and I had forgotten why I went upstairs!

ACHTUNG SCHWEINEHUND!: A BOY'S OWN STORY OF IMAGINARY COMBAT is a hilarious account of one man's journey through the hobby of wargaming, I bought my copy when it was published in 2008, and remember laughing so much when I read it that I actually fell out of bed ... much to my wife's amusement.

If you haven't read this book, I thoroughly recommend that you do. It will make you laugh ... and give a bit of background to the growth of the hobby in the 1970s, 1980s., and 1990s.


ACHTUNG SCHWEINEHUND!: A BOY'S OWN STORY OF IMAGINARY COMBAT was written by Harry Pearson and published by Abacus in 2008 (ISBN 978 0 3491 1568 9).
