Reply With QuoteCuurently reading Yangtze Patrol by Kemp Tolley, USN. Great book about China gunboats (told from USN perspective, but Brits were mates and actions often coordinated). Great commentary on the party scene as well.

It is about the ruskies trying to control middleeasteren oil
pretty good read
Not as in-depth as RSR and somewhat more idealistic and fantasy (not in the traditional sense) but a fairly good read. It's also more oriented towrds the air force buff.Four Japanese nationalists storm Tokyo's imperial palace and behead the emperor. Their goal: to invade Russia and conquer oil-rich Siberia in order to dominate the globe. Soon the world explodes in war, as Japan, Russia and the United States go head-to-head in a struggle that threatens total destruction. Now three men from three different nations must meet their ultimate challenge: to fight as patriots in a war driven by greed and madness-and save the planet from nothing less than a full-scale nuclear attack.

I'm reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. Very good book so far.
Was going to pick it up at a shop in Freiburg, but it was way too much German for me to understand
interresting, and a lot of nice pics
These are just for one class:
• Jean Bethke Elshtain, ed. Just War Theory
• Shannon French, The Code of the Warrior: Exploring Warrior Values Past and Present
• Roy Gutman and David Rieff, eds. Crimes of War: What the Public Should Know
• Adam Roberts and Richard Guelff Documents on the Laws of War
• Michael Walzer, Just and Unjust Wars: A Moral Argument with Historical Illustrations
Digital Fortress, by Dan Brown.
Penthouse Mag...
What are you studing. Looks like a Masters class... in War....
I just got done rereading Unrepentant Sinner, I love that book. Right now I'm looking for something new to read.
The class is called "Law and Ethics of War." I will be getting my BA in Gov't & Int'l Politics/Elec Journalism in May.
Tell me how you like "The Code of the Warrior" when you finish.The class is called "Law and Ethics of War." I will be getting my BA in Gov't & Int'l Politics/Elec Journalism in May.
It is very readable -- and full of real-life examples to make it vivid. It even looks at the Iliad from a warrior's perspective. The author is a prof at the USNA [my prof for this class is a graduate].
There was one example wherein a Marine private was really frustrated and was threatening a civilian in order to get info. A Sergeant stopped the whole thing by merely saying, "Marines don't do that."
great book
