These are the books I have read in the last nine months (in no particular order):

(1) The Virtues of War [It's historical fiction from the perspective of Alexander] Recommended.

(2) The Peloppenesian War. [History on same]. Very dry but gets more interesting at the complexities of Athens politics develops. Alchibiades is a fascinating dude.

(3) Gods And Generals. [Civil War historical fiction] Highly highly recommended.

(4) The Killer Angels. [Gettysburg historical fiction] Highly Highly recommended.

(5) The Making of the Roman Army [history on same]. Dry as a bone. Only good if you care. Fortunately I did.

(6) By Valor and Arms [civil war fiction] Decent.


Currently reading:

(1) His Excellency [biography of Washington] Very good. This is my nightstand book.

(2) Infantry in Battle [tactical scenarios of WW I. Factual history with analysis and lessons learned. Written in the 30s before WW2] Surprisingly good. Not nearly as dry as expected. This is my restroom-rack book. The scenarios are only a page or two at a time. Perfect.


Next on the list:

(1) The Last Full Measure [Civil War historical fiction]

(2) A Farewell to Arms [I have no idea]


Then I get to buy more! Yay!
