I haven't read that one yet, but (almost) everything that Robert Harris writes is excellent. His non-fiction account of the Hitler Diaries (Selling Hitler) is amazing.
Of course if you want to know the truth about early Christianity you'd have to read my book on the subject...
I haven't read Freeman so I can't comment on what he says.
If you want an overview of western philosophy you couldn't really do better than Anthony Kenny's book. (Bertrand Russell's is more famous, of course, but although it's beautifully written it's so outdated and full of errors that it could only be recommended as a source for what Russell thought about various topics, not as an objective introduction to those topics.)
Thanks... I haven't really gone anywhere, just been very very distracted!
I wish! I don't have the time to write the stuff I have to for work - let alone anything interesting!
Sorry, can't help you there. Can't think of any book on the subject I've read and none of the authors that appear when I google "books on Dunkirk" leap out at me.
Now, if she wants to read about the fight to preserve white rule in Africa, I got her covered!

Wait, what? Where?large parts of Africa is currently some form of communist.
For them the big draw to the ideology was "power, forever", so almost none of the countries that went full-on communist when they finally stabilized. Instead the leadership usually degraded into crony capitalism. Basically they are not "communist" communist but mostly some corrupted form, similarly you will be hard pressed to find a fully capitalist African country.
