About me "Life is simple...read books, drink coffee, feed the cats"
I'm a transplanted Mississippian living in Annapolis MD with my wife & 2 cats. Trained as a military historian I now work as a staff officer (herding cats while being pecked to death by ducks). Along with my interest in miltary history I'm also a wargamer and member of the Historical Miniature Gaming Society. We enjoy traveling from Japan to Slovenia on the lookout for bookstores, battlefields and nice B&Bs. Alesia, Waterloo, Glorieta Pass and Omaha Beach are a few of our stops. Recently, I've gotten interested in the BoardGameGeek website and in adding "Further Reading" sections to a number of Wikipedia sites (I appreciate good bibliographies so I'm trying to return the favor). Ex-US Army (91A10, 98C3). ISFJ. MAC user. Marion Military Institute 1969.
About my library Classic comic books, Landmark YA histories & the old ACE fantasy/scifi volumes got me started...now it's mostly military history with strong sections of related historical fiction or military science fiction/fantasy along with some hard-boiled detectives. Of course, I've got the obligatory DUNE & the Patrick O'Brians.
Along with Late Rome, the Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution, Napoleonics, American Civil War, & WWII I do have some particular collection interests: Robert Frederick's First Special Service Force, Merrill's Marauders,
German surface raiders of WWI & WWII (Wolf & Atlantis etc), military staff officers (Berthier, Sorrel, B.Smith, Thiebault), the Civil War in the Southwest (Glorieta!) and of course anything by or about that Ammianus Marcellinus fellow!
JUST READ: Alexander the Great Failure: The Collapse of the Macedonian Empire, The Greatest Battle: Stalin, Hitler, and the Desperate Struggle for Moscow
CURRENTLY READING: (waiting on the mailman!)
TBR Pile: , Now for the Contest: Coastal and Oceanic Naval Operations in the Civil War and Turmoil in New Mexico: 1846-1868 by Keleher.
So many books, so little time...
