Just finished John Birmingham's "Angels of Vengeance", the final book in his "Without Warning" trilogy, which asks the question of what would've happened if everybody in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Cuba disappeared without a trace on March 14th, 2003.
It was a fitting end to a great series, although it left the reader hanging. |

Early Medieval Europe: 300-1000, by Roger Collins (St. Martin's Press, 1991)
Pretty much what it sounds like - a fair overview of the period; who did what and when, and who they did it to. Not a huge amount of detail, but you can't expect that in a single volume covering seven hundred years of history.

"Die U-Boot Gruppe Eisbär. Einsatz vor Kapstadt." Old but very interesting book about the U-Boat attack (IXC, IXD and XIV Boats) in front of Cape Town.
And ordered the book Die Afrika Flotille. Looking forward to the famous book about S-Boot 3. flotilla deployment in shore (not only) Africa. Can´t wait!

Flying into the Flames of Hell: Flying with Bomber Command in WWII
I'm on the lookout for a good book about the RAF Pathfinders next.

WOOHOO!
My copy of Burt's British Battleships: 1889-1904 came just a few minutes ago! Mainly for reference, but also very readable, if you consider highly technical descriptions of arms, armor, turning radius, dates of new equipment and individual histories to be fun. I certainly do, so this is a book I've wanted for a long time. $125 for a used copy, but it's in excellent shape so I'm not complaining. I'm happy for a few weeks now.

Currently finishing The Fall of Berlin 1945 by Antony Beevor. Pretty good so far, Beevor is generally pretty readable and in content the book seems much more comprehensive than Toland's The Last 100-Days. |

I got a copy of Parkes just last month, also more than $120. Parkes covers more ground, but if I had to choose between them now, I'd take R.A. Burt's work any day of the week.
