Arc Light

When Christ and his Saints slept

Arc Light is a really enjoyable WWIII read. Starts out nuclear and then goes conventional. If you like the author, I'd really recommend Protect and Defend too.

Speaking of the Pacific, Eagle Against the Sun: The American War With Japan should be here this Saturday. I've been on a WWII Pacific kick lately. I'm about to watch Tora! Tora! Tora! again.

somewhere in the depths of the internet is the Pacific mod for CC3.  ymmv

Last chance before you actually pick it up and go past the point of no return, 'geek.  DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Save your sanity, man!  AND all the time you will never get back slogging through until you finally realize you've made a HUGE error!!

I just started reading The Tomb by F. Paul Wilson for a change of pace.

Now that's what I'm talking about Greybriar.  Something light and easy on the brain.

I don't think so. The setting so far is in New York City.

Damn you and your autobiographical sketches, Bawb. Just put "The Road to Koniggratz: Helmuth Von Moltke and the Austro-Prussian War 1866" into my Amazon cart.

I'm slogging away though a pretty poor novel I bought on a Kindle sale a few weeks back.  It's called The Rendition by Albert Ashforth and it kinda sucks.

Once I finish that, I have a few others that I bought recently and I'm not sure which I'll read next.

I bought the first two novels in a historical fiction series by Phillip McCutchan.  They're called Drums Along the Khyber and Soldier of the Raj and concern a British officer in colonial service near the end of the 19th century.  The Victorian era of history is the one I find most fascinating so I'm a sucker for anything about the period.

I also bought two non-fiction books.  One recounts the experiences of a soldier in the Rhodesian Light Infantry during the civil war in Rhodesia/ZImbabwe in the 70s.  It's called Fireforce.   

The other is called Forgotten Victory: First Canadian Army and the Cruel Winter of 1944-45.  It's about the Canadian push into the Rhineland during Operation Veritable.  I don't know much about the specifics of the operation other than that it was a pretty miserable experience and more akin to WWI battles in the mud and trenches than the usual WWII experience. 

Any picks on which to read first?
