Just finished reading Kursk, then a Document on USMC units. Then a document on the modernisation of the Vietmanese Armed Forces.
Bit of light reading next I think.

TWILIGHT OF EMPIRE by Allan Eckert. Blackhawk War of 1832.

Ace of Spades

'De Oorlogsbrieven van Unteroffizier Carl Heller' the war diaries of a young German soldier who lived in the Netherlands before the start of WW-1 and went back to Germany early in 1915 to join the army. He fought through to the end of the war and his stories are truly horrific. After the war he went back to the Netherlands and even went to visit the battlefields from his youth in 1962. The book is illustrated with both original photographs of Carl during the war, son of his personal artifacts and pictures made during his visit in 1962. I don't know if there's an English translation but it certainly is recommended if you're interested in WW-1!

Cheers,

I've just read "Never Surrender" by John Kelly (I got a pre publication version, otherwise I don't think I would have chosen to read it). Its now probably in my top 10 history books, its a very readable account of the start of the war and Churchill's rise to power...

Finished "The Fall of the Ottomans: The great War in the Middle East" by Eugene Rogan.

If I ever do WWI, I would pick a Turkish army for one side. There was a lot of action on all borders.  Very interesting and well done.

The new 'Honours of War' Osprey rules book, which looks very promising so far. Incidentally, owing to the way I base my 10mm figures, the 15mm scale in the book is the one recommended by the author.
