Currently on Arnhem: The Battle for the Bridges by Anthony Beevor. Excellent as always.

Shrek Par, have you read other books by Max Hastings? I haven't done so myself so just wondering if I should or not. He certainly writes on subjects that interest me.

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Beevor writes better and has more substance and research to his books . Hastings tends to follow the well travelled road on any subject ,which is fine if you haven't read about the particular battle before but can be a bit repetitive if you have

Now onto Vietnam by max Hastings, bit dry and draws on a lot of previous writings by others. Forgotten voices of the Falklands war is excellent. Another I've just finished was Cod,itsall about the role the fish has played throughout history and was both well written and exceptionally interesting for such a bizarre subject manner.


Try Despatches by Michael Herr

Have any of you guys read Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell ? It was recommended to me as brilliant

I'm back to the start of the Roman legionnaires Macro and Cato series by Simon Scarrow. Lots of battles and good insight in how the soldiers worked and lived but not too heavy reading.

Read the Terminal List by Jack Carr recently.
Brilliant read. If you like Tom Clancy, Will Jordan and Chris Ryan stuff, you`ll probably like this
