Nothing taking my fancy at the moment - which is really annoying....

Anything new out there? WWII ideally about little known campaigns?

I'd be interested to read your thoughts on the book once you've read it.

I also have heard some of his lectures on it (a couple to go) and it's not pretty.



wodin -> RE: What Book Are You Reading at the moment? (3/8/2019 3:50:04 PM)

Lonesome Dove and Freefall the second book in the Airborne trilogy. Both audio books.

With a good narrator I'm loving audio books in a big way!

Been flipping through GURPS Basic Set Characters. I'd love to game master a campaign that takes a place in medieval Finland. I need some historical material for it, from first Swedish crusade to Finland up to Cudgel War, and whatever is along the way. I especially need information about military equipment of the time & place, what were the small scale conflicts suitable for an RPG, and who were fighting in them? Was there banditry, where/when traveling merchants needed escorts, who were the escorts and what was their equipment? I'm gonna hit the libraries next week if work permits it. In the meantime, have any of you here already read books on the subject?

Heavyweights: The Military Use of Massive Weapons by Leo Marriott and Simon Forty

Interesting book. Some of the pictures/captions are erroneous, according to an Amazon reviewer.

I too await this, though I suspect it will be another tale of how the Regia Marina won the Battle for the Middle Sea.....

I expect better from O'Hara.

Currently re-reading A Great and Glorious Victory: New Perspectives on the Battle of Trafalgar. See https://www.1805club.org/

Meh.

Waiting for Ian Toll's take on that period coming "soon"

Thinking about Rick Atkinson's new Trilogy on the American Revolution called "The British are Coming" out next week but I am wondering if it will have anything new enough to justify the time reading it?

I am also thinking about picking up his Revolutionary War trilogy, Delaware. My previous efforts to read a cogent summary on the topic have been disappointing. His "Army at Dawn" series was quite good, so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I have to wonder how many copies of Fleet at Flood Tide have been sold by Amazon because they list it directly after Toll's first two books on their site and people think its vol 3?

I am currently reading Enduring Vietnam: An American Generation and Its War by James Edward Wright.

Mmmmm... I'm not exactly finding this a page turner....

Over 100 pages in and it is more a book about the Spanish Civil war at the moment. I mean that is fine as the war affects Gibraltar, but there's a lot that has nothing to do with the rock. Hope it improves!
