• Gentlemen, gentlewomen and gentleits,

    Peace and long life(or whatever.)

    I meant this to be a pleasant sharing of data.


  • Jefe,

    Just checking in to see if you have tackled any of these books and your thoughts, there were an awful lot of great works thrown out there for you.


  • I’ve jsut started reading Myths and Facts - A Guide to the Arab-Israeli Conflict. It’s very informative and helpful on the subject, especially because it includes information on events since 9/11.


  • i just read Slaughter House Five. good and funny book :)


  • Have to agree with you, Ewok. :wink:
    As for books… I really suggest The Killer Angels (the book Gettysburg was based on).


  • i suggest the book Red Storm Rising by Tom clancy about a possible world war 3. good book and very interesting


  • “How Few Remain” by Harry turtledove was a good book describing the world if the Confederate States of America had won the Civil War in 1862.


  • Interesting. I’ve always like “What-if” books, and since I’m a Civil War nut, this one is worth checking out. :)


  • I also like Harry Turtledove’s alt-history books. Unfortunately, he does have a series where WWII came out differently-no A&A, horror of horrors! :D


  • I just finished an excellent book, called “Life Of Pi”. It doesn’t seem to fit in with the other books that have been suggested here, but it’s a good one! Very good storytelling.


  • A book that i consider most remarkable:

    “Destined to Witness” by Hans J. Massaquoi
    (german title: Neger, Neger, Schornsteinfeger)

    have a look at

  • The web biography was interesting enough to me. :)


  • Berard Cornwell-

    The man is a genius- Sharpe’s series, Starbuck, Archer’s tale etc.

    Jefe- if you are going to read AnnCoulter’s recent book then I
    Highly reccomend Sam Tannenhaus’ biography Whittaker Chambers.

    I read TR Frehenbach’s This Kind of War (it’s about the Korean War)
    every June for the last 4 years.

    I also reccomend, Stanley Karnow’s, Vietnam.

    Recently, I’m reading Ernest R. May’s, Strange Victory. It’s about how the French lost against The Germans in 1940.

    -Joseph Ellis’, Founding Brothers.

    -John Earl Haynes & Harvey Klehr’s Venona:
    Decoding Soviet Espionage in America.

    And Reading the Lord of the Rings Books with my oldest.
