Five `gateways` novels from Star Trek, namely books 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 of the series.  Was a bargain at the Facts event today

Images of War - The Red Army at War can't wait to give it a read but I'm on Lord of the rings at the moment.

Got a first edition of Major Fredrick Russell Burnhams "Scouting on two continents" this week, had a quick browse and it looks seriously interesting.

Need to finish off a stack of "great game" books and rereading Kiplings "Kim" first, though.
Best regards

My Great Northern War library continues to grow.  :D

My latest find. Peter the Great's Artillery by I. Gusarev. Unfortunately I can´t read Russian or understand the Cyrillic alphabet, so I have to ask someone to translate it for me. But the book contains a lot of nice pictures.

A bit of light reading:



No kidding. I read Shake Hands with the Devil and it's stuck with me. Dallaire is unflinching and honest... didn't realize he'd written a new book, off to reserve it from the local library now.

(for anyone who hasn't heard of it, Shake Hands with the Devil is Dallaire's autobiographical account of the Rwanda genocide of the mid-90s - he was commander of the Canadian contingent of UN peacekeepers there (might have been senior overall military officer present, can't recall), who were too shackled by ROE and outflanked by events on the ground to actually keep much peace. Highly recommended, but not an easy read.)

I could not resist it.

G.A.F.D.O.Z. (Galactic Adventures In The Fourth Dimension Of The Forbidden Zone) Sci-fi rules. 

Have not read it yet but it looks like a simple and uncomplicated set of rules. Just the way I like it.

I'm about half way through the Child Soldiers book.  It's turned me away from any interest in AK-47 or Bongolesia type games.  I'm sure things were just as bad in Victorian colonial times, but I'm able to look at those with my romantic adventure glasses firmly in place!

Arkady Babchenko's 'One Soldier's War in Chechnya' and a fabulous little book on the arms of the Spanish Republic taken from a long running exhibition of captured weapons during the Franco regime. A real gem.

The Spanish translation of Pellerin's "L'Épervier". Nothing new, just another "Barbe-Rouge" clone, but the art and the landscapes are incredibly good.
