Re: The Book Reccomendation Thread
I've been reading Varangians of Byzantium, a interesting book which details the accounts of how the Vikings or Rus warriors/merchants have made their way towards Constantinople where they formed the infamous Varangian Guard. I never expected it to be such a detailed account, but I was proven wrong, pretty hefty book at 260 pages of quality research done on a very obscure corner of Byzantine history.

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

I know this is modern warfare, but the book House to House by David Bellavia is an excellent account of the Battle of Fallujah.
War by Sebastian Junger is also an excellent book about Afghanistan.
