Comments: You might recall that I received the Messner book already back in September, but that particular finished copy piggy-backed on a blockade runner out of the Clyde by way of Dunbeath (thanks again to Whittles Publishing), and the official US release is on the first of November. I also need to report a title change for the Hippensteel book. The old title referenced in my March '21 news post [see here] has been replaced with the current one that better represents the volume's full range of content.

1 - These monthly release lists are not meant to be exhaustive compilations of non-fiction releases. They do not include non-revised/expanded reprints of previously published books, special editions not distributed to reviewers, and digital-only titles. Works that only tangentially address the war years are also generally excluded. Inevitably, one or more titles on this list will get a rescheduled release (and they do not get repeated later), so revisiting the past few "Coming Soon" posts is the best way to pick up stragglers.

  1. The blurb about the Harrington book makes it sound as if there will not be a volume in the state’s official roster series, but I’m fact there’s will be. The editor is currently working on it and I dare say it will be more correct and complete than the one Harrington is publishing. Not to take away from his efforts but the state’s editor has mined material that Harrington did not. It will be interesting to compare the two once they are both available.
