Matrix Games Forums

Thanks all for the recommendations. It sounds like a lot of great reading.

m10bob - Semper Fi, Mac sounds like a very compelling book. This is a strong possibility.

Airgriff - The Pacific War 1941-1945 by John Costello sound like something I would enjoy a lot and I just might have to order it for myself...It may cover information my father is already well familiar with.

I'm not sure who recommended Guadalcanal, but this was one of my dad's favorite stories and if Frank's book contains newish information it might be of interest to him.

I know Shattered Sword is quite popular on this forum. I think it might be a bit too detailed for this purpose. Same with Fire in the Sky.

Lot's of other great suggestions I will have to comb through.

Thanks all. [&o]

Depends what you like.
 
I like some niche stuff so not sure if you can get it but its a good read
 
I really enjoyed the Official history of the RCN - No Higher Purpose I think it was called it was a good read and I learned a lot about how an alliance looks from one of the nations I don't often look at - the growth the Canandians undertook in the war - amazing is the only word - a good read if a bit pricey
 
I like the old Liddel Hart books History of the Second World Was is a good read and not to controversial.
 
First Victory - covers Syria/Lebanon/ Iraqui uprising etc was also a good good read again about a theatre not often covered.
 
Or any of the books mentioned above are good
