mctav Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Pooka Dont have too many books on this but I can say these two are worth looking at. (Also at work and cant remember the authors, shout if you need to know) Piece of Cake (fiction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediteo Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Red Storm Rising, by Tom Clancy is a good one. A fictional but pretty accurate depiction of a conventional war between NATO and the Soviets. The Most Dangerous Enemy by Bungay is very good aswell http://www.amazon.com/Most-Dangerous-Enemy-History-Britain/dp/1854108018/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228740309&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairgowrie Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 First Light is excellent. Just a very ordinary guy who joins up like the rest of the brave young men did. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
