Two very fine books, Martin! I got the last one from Mr. Warfle himself! We spent quite some time writing about the Jan. 11 mission and the Piontblank operations. He suggested I turn pointblank into my research topic for University. I haven't heard from him in a long time, however.

Brian O'Neill's book is good as well. I very much enjoyed it. Also got a great chapter on the Jan. 11 mission.

And I agree, I love veterans memoirs above everything else. Of course, I have a soft spot for the self-published ones... Although I can very much appreciate and enjoy a well researched and written book, the memoirs take you right into the times, it seems.
