The book is really amazing and I just finished reading it. War movies have been my favorite since infancy. I really like your review.

I don't enjoy books about war except there's a romance intertwined in the story as well. Great review though.

A historical fiction novel about a war between the Australian army and the Nazis. I think neither the title nor the cover gives anything away as to what the book is about. I don't really enjoy these types of novels so, unfortunately, I will have to pass.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting spy story surrounding WWII following two Australian soldiers that area assigned to military intelligence in Cairo to combat the Nazis. It was definitely worth a second look. Well done.

As much as I like historical fictions, I don't think I like those relating to war and espionage. Your review was amazingly written. I enjoyed it.

Historical fiction blended with mystery and romance would definitely be enthralling. I'd love to read this. Thanks for your review!

This seems to be a book I would love to read. The conversational style it employed would be captivating. I like that it is suspenseful too. It is my kind of book. We're James and Jack successful at their mission?
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.

The title of this book is quite funny. I’m curious as to what Warramunga's War is about.

A book on war and espionage. Here comes another historical fiction. The reviewer has noted that the book was well written. The characters, and other features discussed contribute to make one want to turn the pages.

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Lieutenant James Munro and Corporal Jack O'Brien operate in Egypt as they fight the German agents in this historical fiction. I like reading about war and espionage and this is right up my alley. The concept is very timely and relevant with what’s happening now in the world where super powers try to impose superiority above others.

I’m not into a book about war but the specific time that was written has piqued my interest and the book sounds enlightening though I couldn’t tell from the book cover. I guess it’s true to never judge a book by its cover. Great review and Congratulations on BOTD

Although this historical fiction is set during WW2, there's friendship, teamwork, romance and humour in the book, in addition to action and adventure, that will no doubt keep readers of varied genres interested and engaged.
