Tell people about your Military books!

Yeah, Imp
Sorry for that. I think it's going OOT.
I should know too that this forum is not intended to discuss "against the law" things.
Because I'm in a country where such thing (copyright violation) isn't concerned so much, I didn't aware that people might be "offended".
My fault, sorry.
Ok, stop talking about eBooks and "hijacking" problem.
I started this thread just for people to show and discuss their favorite books.


Cheers, RightDeve

Was not offended thought original idea was a good one.

Besides I live in the UK where the goverment has decided white collar crime is fine.
Sorry to dip into politics but love the last one Alistair Darling made an inadvertant mistake according to our Prime Minister so basically is incapable of getting what amounts to his expenses right. This guy is in charge of our countrys finances & God help us all it shows a lot of 1+1 = 3 maths seems to be going on so it realy could have been an oversight on his behalf. It does not seem to occur to any of them that making excuses does not help as if they are true they are inept & unfit for the job anyway.

I liked the thread.
Great to get other peoples view on books, and maybe pick up a hint on some good reading material.

I find the thread relevant to, since this is a war game, with tactics and a good portion of history.

The discussion about eBooks I won’t get in to. Personally I enjoy a good book, and buy them wherever I find them, or order them on the net.

I love to make a list one day of my books, movies and documentaries.

Ok, guys, I think it's going far more OOT
It is intended to give comments on you fav. books, not to comment on the thread itself, eh.... LOLOL

Well, this I've just thought about
everybody knows that street fighting in Stalingrad often committed within 50 meters (say, 20 meters in Stalingrad book). My thought was how can this be simulated in game coz we know that even on the range 50 meters we are already adjacent to enemy unit and that would we so deadly?

Ok, anybody up for another list???

There are three books by George G. Blackburn based on his war-time experiences:

Guns of Normandy: A Soldier's Eye View, France 1944 (1997, ISBN 0-7710-1503-8),
The Guns of Victory: A Soldier's Eye View, Belgium, Holland, and Germany, 1944-45 (1997, ISBN 0-7710-1505-4),
Where the Hell Are the Guns?: A Soldier's View of the Anxious Years, 1939-44 (1999, ISBN 0-7710-1506-2).

All three are excellent though the first two would be of interest to most.

The power of artillery explained through the eyes of the longest surviving FOO in the Canadian army in WW2. Those who complain arty is too powerful in the game should read these books

Anything by Mark Zuehlke's Canadian Battle Series is good. I snap up each one in hardcover the week they are released

Operation Husky
Terrible Victory
Holding Juno
Juno Beach
The Gothic Line
The Liri Valley
Ortona

and

Brave Battalion: The Remarkable Saga of the 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish) in the First World War
