    Jeff -- Freidman is always a good read. I will enjoying your thoughts on the book.

    I am reading Axlerod's Little Known Wars of Great and Lasting Impact and I highly recommend it. It is a lot of fun and reminiscent of James Burke's Connections but limited to the effect that various conflicts have had on history.

    Just started reading Forgotten Voices of D-Day by Roderick Bailey.

    It's been highly recommended by a friend.

    Received Hitler's Army: The Men, Machines and Organization 1939-1945 by Stone just before Christmas. From my limited reading, it's an incredible source for the mechanization of the army, its units, and like the title says, its organization. Early part of the book goes back to the early 30's, so there is sufficient background info and not just the war years. Looking forward to finishing, and would appear to be a great inclusion into anyone's bookshelf.

    Last night I finished my new, just received for Christmas, copy of "The 14th Fighter Group in World War II". I had mentioned I'd like to have this book due to an Uncle in the 48th Sqd. who had bailed out over Yugoslavia and found a very short mention on page 116. Seems he was out of fuel and jumped, was seen on the ground talking to a "young slender woman in a black dress -- so the day wasn't a complete loss".

    Just started Adam Tooze's The Wages Of Destruction- The Making And Breaking Of The Nazi Economy. Economics is not my strong suit but it was reccommend by a friend and he's usually a good critic. Still some heavy reading awaits.

    Wanted to add this one. I just returned from a major book store a few hours ago and it looks like a long night ahead for me. Studs Terkel's "The Good WAR".
