5.0 out of 5 stars A Reenactor Must Read!, November 11, 2009

By

This review is from: War Game (Paperback)

I picked this up in one of those used book shops we haunt when on the road, looking for the odd, unusual, and interesting book - preferably, but not necessarily, cheap. The title attracted me first because war games and even war gamers (especially war game designers) are an interest of mine (being a hobbyist and professional war gamer, so to speak). But it only took a quick glance to see that the author, Anthony Price, had written a two-fer for me, because in this case the subject war game was actually the reenactment of one or more English Civil War battles, and here I am finishing up my first decade as a reenactor (though of the American Civil War, not the English).

So here the author was offering me a murder mystery set in the world of reenacting - as the murder itself was set in a reenactment itself. Then he throws in a secret gold treasure and Cold War era radical politics and scheming, and it seems I have found a must read for myself. I would highly recommend this to anyone who appreciates good English Cold War (and English Civil War) mysteries and especially to any reenactors out there, who should get a special kick out of this account of a reenactment gone bad!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: War game (Hardcover)

I think this book is great.Antony has really done a great job on this book.I think he wrote this book because he was interested of his family.
I hope this isn't his best book.When ever I read this book I feel like I am in The first world war fighting the Germans.I cannot tell you any more because I have wrote the rest with invisible inc.If you want to find out any more about
"War Game" why not buy the book.
