I'm finishing up The Wolf's Call (Book 1) by Anthony Ryan. I have The Black Song (Book 2) on deck. I won a digital ARC of The Pariah by Anthony Ryan as well. I'm excited to dig into that next.

Ryan’s story on Jocko’s podcast really hit home, as I could identify with some of the struggles he had in certain aspects of his life.
I guess sometimes you gotta lose yourself in order to become the person you need to be.  Attached File Jocko Podcast 257: You Have to CHOOSE to Get Stronger w/ Green Beret Ryan Hendrickson |

Interested to hear what you think. Mowat takes a lot of crap for Never Cry Wolf, but I really like his more humorous books about his youth like The Dog Who Wouldn't Be and The Boat That Wouldn't Float. I thought them very much entertaining and nostalgic in the line of Ruark's The Old Man and The Boy. Lost in the Barrens is an excellent survival book for kids. He's a talented writer but he kinda lost me when it comes to the geography of Italy. I should have read it with one of my WW II atlas books so I can trace his movements. His accounts of training mishaps or guffaws as a subaltern were good (like playing with too much explosives or calling an airstrike on King George). Have you read his other book, The Regiment? I didn't even have that on my list, but now I do @mPisi - just learned there is a third book, My Father's Son which I just ordered today. It starts where No Bird Sing leaves off. The Regiment, which I just finished, is more of a regimental history of the Hasty P's with only a few insights into his own activities. Still worth reading thought. One thing I've come to realize is that virtually all Allied infantry unit sustained heavy casualties during the war. So many of them, had near 100% replacements (not all deaths but injuries requring replacement). |

The Gulag Archipelago by Solzjenitsyn. Read chapter 1 so far and his writing is excellent but boy, is it depressing. I've read about the Soviet suppression of its citizens since the '70s but his writing really brings it home.

Just finished The Phantom Blooper which is Gustav Hasford's novel that he wrote after The Short Timers.
Outrageous read. Puts an entirely now point of view on the Vietnam war and war in general. I am trying to find the third one he wrote, A Gypsy Good Time. FWIW I read 'Blooper' fo' free on a PDF. It was a difficult read but worth it. |

Thomas Taylor's The Simple Sounds of Freedom about 506th PIR (101 Airborne)'s Joe Beryle.
Decades ago I read a book about Soviet Operational Strategy. They always used the term "Hitlerite" and never "Nazi." Here's why. As we know, Nazi stands for National Socialism and the Soviets could not stand to acknowledge the Nazis as fellow "socialists." Only Soviet socialism was true socialism so instead of saying Nazi, the Soviets said Hitlerite/Hitlerites. Lurn'd it right thar in that book. |

Andy Weir( The Martian) Hail Mary
Excellent First Contact novel. Conquest to Nowhere by Anthony Herbert. An intense combat narrative of Herbert's first combat experience in Korea ca1950. The hand to hand fighting and sheer carnage are incredible. Defeat at Kasserine by Calhoun. Sober assessment of the debacle and the Doctrinal errors that birthed it. There is no Anti-Memetic Division by qxrb Wild sci-fi set in the SCP universe-s timelines-s. All the Raiding Forces series. Superb story of the SOE/Small Scale Raiding Forces in WW2 after Dunkirk. |
