One book calls for another
[ by Charles Cameron — of books, wars and games, three things seldom far from my mind ]
.
Yesterday I went thrifting with young master David, and found myself a copy of Daniel Johnson‘s White King and Red Queen: How the Cold War Was Fought on the Chessboard.
This happy event makes me anxious to reclaim my copy of Scott Boorman‘s The Protracted Game: A Wei-Ch’i Interpretation of Maoist Revolutionary Strategy from storage.
One of the things about books is that they call to each other.
