AH yes, never got around to actualy finishing that one, was a bit too dry for my taste. (I think I have the 2nd edition.)
But this book pops up everywhere I look, I think it is a sign that I should give it another try!

Skyhigh looks like you couldn't wait till you got home to take the photo. I bet you sat in your car, took the pic and read the first couple of pages too.

I reread that a couple years ago and was very disappointed. It is not nearly as good as I remember from the first few times I read it.

Good lord! Are you from NSA? Is there a drone over my head watching my moves? How did you know?! ;)

In the meanwhile, Red Army has also arrived.
Happy weekend!

If you can, get hold of the sequel Third World War: The Untold Story. It tells the story of the war from the Soviet side and other theatres not covered in the first book.

Ordered both books today, I wonder what they will be like. I hope you haven't promised too much and I will be dissapointed.
