Books I’ve Recently Read |
|
| |
Archer, Christon I … et al. World History of
Warfare.
Amazon.com page |
Interesting, but says that American troops were brought home from
Vietnam in 1971 instead of January, 1973. |
|
| |
Matsuoka, Takashi. Cloud of Sparrows.
Amazon.com page |
A novel of
Japan in 1861, when the first effects of opening Japan to the world were
becoming apparent. It also incorporates a Western, but has errors in the
firearms of the period. For example, .44 caliber Civil War revolvers
didn’t use cartridges. |
|
| |
Chatters, James C. Ancient Encounters:
Kennewick Man and the First Americans
Amazon.com page |
An excellent account of the discovery and
study of Kennewick Man, a 9,000 year old skeleton of a man who wasn’t a
Native American. It has a good discussion of modern theories of the
migration of ancient humans to the New World. |
|
| |
Bobbit, Philip. The Shield of Achilles:
War, Peace, and the Course of History
Amazon.com page |
Interesting, but slow going. I didn’t
finish it. |
|
| |
Audoin-Rouzeau, Stephane and Becker,
Annette. 14-18: Understanding the Great War
Amazon.com page |
I disagree with the authors’ assertion that
the brutality of World War I changed the nature of European society, but
it has some interesting facts and ideas. |
|
| |
Holzer, Mark Henry, and Holzer, . “Aid
and Comfort: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam.
Amazon.com page |
Outstanding resource for the laws on
treason. It makes a good case for the indictment of Fonda for treason. |
|
| |
Alexander, Bevin. How Wars Are Won: The
13 Rules of War - From Ancient Greece to the War on Terror.
Amazon.com page |
Analyzes Western warfare and battles in
terms of Sun Tsu. |
|
| |
Milton, Giles. Samurai William: The
Englishman Who Opened Japan.
Amazon.com page |
The story of William Adams, whom James
Clavell fictionalized in Shogun. |
|
| |
Koba the Dread by Martin Amis
Amazon.com page |
An outstanding summarization of Stalin’s
bloody reign and denunciation of those who denied the truth about
Stalin’s crimes. |
