Autobiography, but my Grandads memoirs of WW1 in Mesopatania & subsequently Police force in Rotherham (couple of gruesome murders back in the day) make a cracking read (for me) and makes you realise just how much we owe to previous generations

A good local biography is "The Valley: A Hundred Years in the Life of a Family" by Richard Benson

[CAMiller]

29 Black..By me under real name ....Coming out for Christmas if Proof reading and Forward completed on time.

Somewhere over the rainbow by john McCarthy and Jill morrell. All about his time in captivity and written from both sides, an excellent read.
