I didn't finish this book (it's dense) but it was perhaps one of the best research tools for Death at Greenway. I really got a sense of what it was like to living during the war.

My favorite biography of Christie is actually the Janet Morgan one, where the author had access to the family archives. (Harder to find.) But this one was also quite good and easier to buy.
