Now reading Tragedy of the Templars - I think the author's name is Michael Haag.

Can't find the post in the thread...wasn't there a title on the Eastern Front in World War 1 that was recommended recently? I thought I added it to my wish list but it's not coming up.

Prit Buttar (the author) comes up quite a bit here so it probably was Collision of Empires.

I just this morning pre-ordered his 4Th and final book of WWI on the Eastern Front, "Splintered Empires- The Eastern Front 1917 to 1921". It's due out Sept. 19th. I can't wait.  :bd:   The other 3 were great for anyone interested in this theater and time.

Crap. I'll probably be ordering the first 3 tonight.

Just saw this review.

Sounds good for understanding ancient warfare.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.
