Sometimes I am amazed at the power of the internet in general and that of Wiki in particular. By the time I finished reading Forsyth's "Icon" (will post review later) I had jotted down a couple of things at the back of an envelope - things I wanted to find out about on the net.

First of course was the reference to Babi Yar as mentioned in my earlier post. Here's the rest of the collection -

- Chaika
- House of Grimaldi
- Morganatic Marriage
- Great Patriotic War

If you are as curious as I am about these, get a cup of steaming tea/coffee and hit the net. You will be amazed at what information you can find. :-)
