Reading The Witcher books by Andrzej Sapkowski.

And a Swedish book about the wars between 1945 and 2000.

For bed timing reading I am looking at Bloody Shambles, Vol. 1: The Drift to War to the Fall of Singapore

This is a 3-volume set and looks at the air war over southeast Asia in the opening months of 1942. I will see what I think of this volume before considering the other two.

Were there *any* Swedish wars between 1945 and 2000?

The book is written in Swedish and, as far as I know, it isn't translated to English. The conflicts, or wars, that are included in the book are from all parts of the world, with a focus on the conflicts that had a cold war aspect.

It's a *very* thin book. [:D]

Anyone (meaning Warspite) read 'Heligoland: Britain, Germany, and the Struggle for the North Sea'? Looks interesting.

No, I'd like to but I have had a bit of a book fest in the last few months so will no be making any new purchases until I've read what I've got. Please let me know though if you take the plunge.

I just finished reading The King Without a Kingdom, book 7 in The Accursed Kings series by Maurice Druon. Next up is Hitler's War, book 1 of The War That Came Early series by Harry Turtledove.

Has anyone got any recommendations for books about President McKinley, the Spanish-American war and US 'Imperialism' please? Ideally I am looking for a couple of books coming from different perspectives.

I am currently reading West and East, book 2 of The War That Came Early series by Harry Turtledove.

Just finished Samuel Elliot Morrison's History of United States Naval Operations in World War II: Volume 6: Breaking the Bismarcks Barrier for the second time. Damn good reading what.

I remember this fine series was a must gift for my Mother to give my Father (U.S.S Idaho) as the volumes came out.

Yeah, this is a great series. I've yet to read it cover to cover, but I do reference it often.

Got my nose stuck in a copy of "Warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy, 1869-1945 by Hansgeorg Jentschura, Dieter Jung and Peter Mickel. Lot and lots of interesting information.

Got this a couple of weeks ago - Anatomy of the Ship - Battleships Yamato and Musashi by Janusz Skulski, Stephan Dreminski
