Just finished The Attack by Kurt Schlichter.
Quite a unique book, it is a fictional oral history (think Max Brook's World War Z) of a Mumbai/October 7th style attack in the US. The scale is a little staggering, but the accounts are well written, and more than occasionally gut wrenching. As a father to a little girl, the accounts of a little girl barely surviving (and watching her parents fail to protect her and be murdered) as well as a father who watches his family be murdered over a video call hit pretty hard.

If anyone wants a good read, there is my novel The Pale Horse on kindle.

People who have read it tell me that it's pretty good.

I already have it on hand for when I finish the first one.
Hancock is a pretty interesting fellow. He has pretty interesting ideas about dates referring to the origins of people in North America. Ive listened to countless podcasts hes been guest on, his own podcast, and seen his show on the TV. But, I have owned this book since March 2020, and have yet to open it.
Rogue Warrior by Richard Marcinko was the last book I finished, and its been so long since doing, I dont recall what year it was, but, pre 2016.

I just finished "Fifty Years On The Old Frontier" by James H. Cook. Cook went from Michigan to Texas to be a cowboy in 1868. Later went to the Nebraska - Wyoming area. He was a market hunter, ranch owner, and scout for the Army. He relates many interesting experiences. Life in the West was not for the faint of heart. My copy was issued in 1923. I just started "The Adventures of Captain James Bonneville" by Washington Irving. Bonneville took leave from the Army in the 1820's to explore and trap in the Northwest.
Started this one this morning.

Looks like a good one. I trained as a heavy equipment operator in the Army, but I thought it would be cool to be in armor. Then in Nam, I saw the Keystone Depot where they towed the shot-up tanks and APCs. I decided they didn't look so good after all.
That's what this book is about. A tank Maintenance Battalion tasked with recovering tanks from battlefields, repairing them and sending them back for new crews.
Pretty gruesome stuff for the mechanics and technicians that had to clean out the tanks and refurbish them for combat.

I can only imagine.....
I am rereading this one. My absolute favorite WW2 reminiscence.

Looks interesting. I may reread "God is My Copilot" soon.
That is a fantastic movie, everyone should see it
Started this one today.

Right now, I am reading the Jack Ryan series by Tom Clancy. They're pretty good and Clancy was very pro-gun.
