Yes - I have a couple. Natasha’s Dance by Orlando Figes for a comprehensive and very well written history of Russia. Bloodlands by Timothy Snyder for review of pre-WW2 through 1945; Ghost Wars by Steve Coll for an outstanding history of American intervention in Afghanistans and rise of Bin Laden.

Does anyone know if the same 401k rules apply at EY as Accenture so they will cap the contributions coming for your check say if you hit the yearly limits in August? So if you hit the 22,500 in 23 there is no way to go over for tax issues. Thinking to frontload next year contributions if market is down. EY
