Though it is not a navy book, I just finished reading "Exploration Fawcett" by Col. P.H. Fawcett. Its about his exploration of the Amazon during the 1920's. He disappeared looking for a lost city. Excellent book!!!!

Next book on the list is I think from the list from the same publishers is either one of the three below. Really havent deceided on which one yet.

The Explorers - first hand accounts of the exploration of Australia

The Art of Travel - 19th century handbook used by explorers of the day
or
Gobi Tracking the Desert

Just started it. So far a pretty good twist on a well documented topic.

Found my old tattered paperback of 'The Boat' in a box in the basement. It's been 20+ years since I last read it so I couldn't resist one last look before the donation pile.

Someday I'll get the hardcover for keeps.

I just picked up The Vinland Sagas, the original Norse tales of Eric The Red and his son Leif; English translation by Magnus Magnusson and Hermann Palsson, 1965 Penguin edition.

I usually read multiple books at the same time. At the moment the list includes "The Hunt for Red October" (once again) and Rising Tide (by Gary E. Weir and Walter J. Boyne).

Cough splutter what rot.

The title of that book is a very bad idea, its more of a German survey of England taken during the 1930's. I agree its an interesting read but has nothing to do with the planning and preparation of Sealion.

Just finished the first of two bargain books from Osprey Essential Histories

The Suez Crisis 1956
Must pick up a more detailed book on this subject.

Now reading a little further back in History.....

The Pearl Harbor Myth: Rethinking the Unthinkable by George VictorYou may (or may not) disagree with this reinterpretation, but it's an excellent read.
