Unfortunately, it's $13.99 at Amazon US. One of those geographic issues with searching, obviously. I'll fix the link. That said, I'd really like to read this.

If I thought it had a chance, I'd nominate War and Peace, I'd reread it again. Seems to be some mild interest.
I'm tempted to nominate a book about the Great War; this is the centenary year of the Armistice for the "War to End All Wars."

Don't know what to say about War and Peace. I'd be in, but I see the issue.
