July Book Pick

Hello all,
Thanks to the large number of you who voted. It was a close vote, but the winner, by a nose, was Yokohama Burning: The Deadly 1923 Earthquake and Fire that Helped Forge the Path to World War II by Joshua Hammer

[Given how close Goodwin's Team of Rivals was, I'll plan on giving people a chance to vote for it again for our next meeting, probably in October.]

The other winner, in a less close vote, was Sunday, July 29 as our meeting day. We'll meet at 2 pm and probably on campus, given the general trend of the feedback I've received from various people. [We can meet in NOVA at a future date. Let me know if you're interested in hosting a meeting in Fredericksburg or Northern Virginia.]

Alright, get the book (check your local library too) and get reading.... I'll be in touch with the details of the meeting place as I get them together. [And don't forget that you can post questions or comments on the acebook group page (http://umw.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2357598417) or here on the blog.
