Another history book that reads like a novel, Hasting's is such a good writer. It's really interesting to see another side of WW2, and it demonstrates how much was done in secret. The book covers Bletchley Park, the Cambridge Spy Ring, and other behind the scenes operations, both for and against the allies.

This documentary showed the behind the scenes of the original Star Wars trilogy. I liked seeing all of the story development and SFX. It's even more interesting now, 15 years later, to be watching this. Since, we're on the eve of the official end of the Skywalker Saga.
If you're a Star Wars fan, it's definitely worth a watch.

Not only does it have the entire libretto of Hamilton it has great behind the scenes information from the creative minds who made the show that we know and love today. Plus Lin-Manuel Miranda provides invaluable annotations to the songs that provide insight you would not otherwise have.

I was expecting this book to be filled with vintage pictures of the park, but most of the pictures were from the past 5 years or so. I did find the behind the scenes essays interesting, however.
