TopCover 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Hey mr Burns, If Stalingrad by A. Beevor is just as good as Berlin, then i must have it! Any war related book by Len Deighton (fiction or non fiction are great. Some titles by him: Blitzkrieg, Fighter, Bomber. Great nonfiction by him: Fatherland, SS-GB. All good stuff, with a lot of research behind it. Have fun reading Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killagee 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Stalingrad by Anthony beaver is indeed better than Berlin. Horrifyingly so... I recommend "My War gone by, I miss it so..." By anthony Loyd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

red oct 2 Posted February 12, 2004 Dude, wheres my country by Michael Moore count not a war novel but its the only book im reading right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc. Zaius 0 Posted February 12, 2004 I'd recommend Harold Coyle's God's Children, a fictional tale of US peacekeepers coming under fire in civil war-torn Slovakia. I think it would be an excellent basis for an OFP campaign. Also, Eric L. Harry's Arc Light, which I tracked down after Hellfish mentioned it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEAL84 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Yeah, God's Children was good. I've just finished Flyboys by James Bradley (who wrote Flags of our Fathers), and The Cat From Hue by John Laurence (CBS TV reporter in Vietnam). Â I'd recommend both for historical value. Has anyone else read The Last Ship by William Brinkley? Â It's set in the late 80's just prior to and then following a global nuclear war. Â A US Navy destroyer and a Russian boomer are the only two groups of healthy humans left alive - they try to find anyone who survived and eventually try to start a settlement on a remote island. Â It's incredibly well written and a very good read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NavyEEL 0 Posted February 12, 2004 "Once an Eagle" by Anton Myrer. Best book I've ever read, and a must-read for anyone interested in military service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qUiLL 0 Posted February 12, 2004 i also recommend red storm rising and 1984. i wish they made a movie out of red storm rising though; after watching several tom clancy movies i feel red storm rising would have been one of the better tom clancy movies, if they had it.

Major Gripe 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Although not strictly military based, a great book I just read is 'The Company' by Robert Littell, that tells the story of the CIA from the 1950's to the present day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m21man 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Why not a nice little copy of War And Peace ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 1 Posted February 12, 2004 Try the bible, its a nice piece of fiction that would make any action writer blush (whole cities crumbling, seas parting now thats Hollywood) and is kinda comical in some places as well  Also, The Second World War by John Keegan & Charlie Mike by Leonard B. Scott are both great books Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
