Fateful Choices, Ten Decisions That Changed the World, 1940-1941 by Ian Kershaw
A fascinating book covering decisions from the point of view of the wartime leaders making them. Highly recommend 5/5
Charged: A History of Batteries and Lessons for a Clean Energy Future by James Morton Turner
More a history of pollution from batteries and their construction than a straight history of the technology. It delivers that well enough though 3/5
Box Office Poison: Hollywood’s Story in a Century of Flops by Tim Robey
Covers 26 movies (skipping some of the best known) with fun behind-the-scenes tales of disaster and over-reach. 4/5
