Moved on to Jonathan Trigg's third book in his series Hitler's Legions.
Now reading.. Hitler's Jihadis Muslim Volunteers of the Waffen SS and after that I'm going to re-read the final one again. Hitler's Vikings The History of the Scandinavian Waffen SS: The Legions, The SS Wiking and the SS Norland |
Almost done with The Red Circle.
If I met Brandon Webb, I would shake the guy's hand and (if I was old enough) buy him a drink. The guy is amazing. If you haven't read the book, pick it up. I found it on the discount rack for $4.98 at Barnes & Noble. I wonder if there's some way I could send it to him and get him to autograph it for me. :hmm2: |

Reading another classic: The Golden Horseshoe by Terence Robertson

STEEL BOAT, IRON HEARTS
STEEL BOAT, IRON HEARTS - A U-boat crewman's life aboard U-505 by Hans Goebeler
Someone in Subsim recommended it so I purchased it. It's a great read. Thanks. |
As a coffee table book, one which I will read a chapter from every now and then, is currently 'The Milk Cows: The U-Boat Tankers at War' by John. F. White.
For fiction, I have just finished the excellent 'Best Served Cold' by the English author Joe Abercrombie. His books have well written plots, fascinating characters, are visceral and unpredictable, and a real pleasure to read. Recommend starting from the beginning of the First Law series, although each book is stand-alone. |
Churchill's ''The second world war'' in 5 volumes
|
I cracked into American Sniper by Chris Kyle at about 0130 this morning. It was great. He didn't spend as much time talking about his training as Brandon Webb did. :hmmm:
I still like the book either way. |

My Haynes manual addiction is slowly fading -thank God, because it's been burning a hole in my wallet! I just finished reading their "Enthusiast's Manual" on the Routemaster bus, because I was interested in those double-decker buses us Americans see in every movie ever filmed in London. Well, I certainly learned more than I ever wanted to know about the RM. The book even describes how the hydraulic accumulators work, the type of aluminum used in the attendant's platform, where to buy spare parts, basic maintenance procedures, how the destination blinds work...seriously, it was almost too much detail, but at least my curiosity is satisfied! :yep:

Just finished last night
Just finished "Japanese Destroyer Captain"
Capt. Tameichi Hara. Glad there were not many like him in Japanese Navy in WW2. He mentions attacking and sinking several subs in the book, one because he saw a sub lookout light his cig so he attacked. He claimed to sink it but I think it survived. Pretty good read from the others perspective.:up: |
Finished a few months ago.
Finished "Shattered Sword" a few months ago.
Goes into great detail the damage and sinking of each of the Japanese Carriers at Midway. Pretty good read with some insight and perspective from the other side..:up: |
Sink The Tirpitz
I had checked this book out of the library a couple of times when I was much younger. I've been watching on eBay, and somebody finally posted a copy I could buy. :yeah: |
