Literature by Letter 'B' (Multiple Choice)
In the 'A' quiz of this series I blatantly used the determiner 'a' so I could add items that technically should have waited their turn in the alphabetical pecking order. For instance, 'A Streetcar Named Desire' could have taken a long holiday before its legitimate turn will come up. Robert A. Heinlein fans will been in orbit to see their god in there but will think "Hey, man... it's 'Time Enough for Love' NOT 'A Time Enough for Love'."
Anyway, knowing that the people who do my quizzes are of the highest quality of intelligence and are only discerning when dealing with riffraff... I know they understand what I mean.

'Beersheba' by Paul Daley is an account of the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade at that biblical, little oasis in October 1917. It was the last successful cavalry charge in history (Light Brigade. Eat your hearts out). Sadly, the victory probably strengthened Field Marshal Douglas Haig's insane idea that cavalry still had an important role in modern warfare... and the bodies piled up in the trenches while his horsey men waited safely in the rear, ready to exploit any breakthrough by the massed infantry frontal assaults.
