Re: What book are you reading now...

Still reading Rommel VRS Patton. Good book, but a bit long in the tooth with verbiage. Read Omar Bradley's book "A Soldiers' Story" just before this one, and the style is night and day.

Re: What book are you reading now...

I just finished The Secret of Stalingrad. Interesting how Uncle Joe's paranoia colored relations between the Western Allies and Russia even up through today.

Re: What book are you reading now...

"Alamo In The Ardennes" by McManus. So far,very good-he writes well. Just finished "Exit Rommel" by Watson about the Tunisian Campaign and "Voices from Stalingrad"-both very good-highly recommended
