We really had a splendid meeting in August with "our" club member and author, Stuart Goldman, on his book "Nomonhan, 1939, The Red Army's Victory that Shaped World War II". Stuart gave a short overview and then let us take advantage of his hard and intense research on an obscure "undeclared" war on the Soviet Manchurian border, that, in retrospect, proved highly important to the subsequent unfolding of events, including the Second World War. It is a great privilege to be able to ask those questions of the author that one always wishes she could do.
Here are a couple of blog posts from a club member discussing the book and meeting:
