Tietoja minusta "Life is simple...read books, drink coffee, feed the cats"
I'm a transplanted Mississippian living in Annapolis MD with my wife & 2 cats. Trained as a military historian I now work as a staff officer (herding cats while being pecked to death by ducks). Along with my interest in miltary history I'm also a wargamer and member of the Historical Miniature Gaming Society. We enjoy traveling from Japan to Slovenia on the lookout for bookstores, battlefields and nice B&Bs. Alesia, Waterloo, Glorieta Pass and Omaha Beach are a few of our stops. Recently, I've gotten interested in the BoardGameGeek website and in adding "Further Reading" sections to a number of Wikipedia sites (I appreciate good bibliographies so I'm trying to return the favor). Ex-US Army (91A10, 98C3). ISFJ. MAC user. Marion Military Institute 1969.
Tietoja kirjastostani Classic comic books, Landmark YA histories & the old ACE fantasy/scifi volumes got me started...now it's mostly military history with strong sections of related historical fiction or military science fiction/fantasy along with some hard-boiled detectives. Of course, I've got the obligatory DUNE & the Patrick O'Brians.
Along with Late Rome, the Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution, Napoleonics, American Civil War, & WWII I do have some particular collection interests: Robert Frederick's First Special Service Force, Merrill's Marauders,
German surface raiders of WWI & WWII (Wolf & Atlantis etc), military staff officers (Berthier, Sorrel, B.Smith, Thiebault), the Civil War in the Southwest (Glorieta!) and of course anything by or about that Ammianus Marcellinus fellow!
JUST READ: Alexander the Great Failure: The Collapse of the Macedonian Empire, The Greatest Battle: Stalin, Hitler, and the Desperate Struggle for Moscow
CURRENTLY READING: (waiting on the mailman!)
TBR Pile: , Now for the Contest: Coastal and Oceanic Naval Operations in the Civil War and Turmoil in New Mexico: 1846-1868 by Keleher.
So many books, so little time...

I loved 'Tip and Run' - its the sort of book that makes a wargamer go out and buy figures, rules and Osprey books. I had to immediately jump into ancient and medieval stories to bring me back to what I already have on Mt Neverpaint.
I am now reading a 70s era novelisation of the Richard III story 'Under the Hog' one of a vast collection I own. We have a DBA tournament coming up this Sunday - ostensibly the ACT/NSW titles though we'll have few enough from NSW there. However we should get 20 entries which is not bad at all. My elder daughter (age 8) has now taken up DBA - she'll be giving me a kicking soon enough.
I'll check out your Africa tag and see what becomes a must have for myself.
Cheers

for a change of pace I have been reading 'Tip and Run' and being amazed by the story of the Great War in Africa. It is an excllent read. You can see exactly where Wilbur Smith got the idea for his characters for "Shout at the Devil" (read that in my teen years).
Have you ever come across this bookshop - Alexander Fax Booksellers - [url]www.alexanderfaxbooks.coml.au[/url] - they specialise in Australian Military, but cover a wide range. In their (small) ancient and medieval section I saw a copy of "The Western Way of War" by Victor Davis Hanson for $A30.
In recent weeks I have read "The Firebrand" and Dando Collins "The Blood of the Ceasars" - in this he suggests that Seneca poisoned Germanicus, in collusion with Aggripina - I'm not convinced by a long shot - but my favourite retelling of this story is in Wishart's novel "Germanicus" where he turns all of the incidents in I,Claudius (which are firmly rooted in Tacitus) and uses them to suggest military incompetence and treachery on the part of Germanicus himself.
Anywise - do check out Alexander Fax if you get the chance.
cheers

Hadn't seen it - but then my PC gaming has been zero since the last Total War game came out (though the new Spore game looks interesting...)
Thanks for the heads-up though, I'll give it a look
