Research:
Steel Chariots in the Desert - SC Rolls
Armoured Cars in Eden - Kermit Roosevelt
Pair of WWI armored car memoirs, from Lawrence's driver and TR's son. Both very good, similar books, both spend a little more time on local flora and fauna than on combat against the Turks.
Personal:
Frontsoldaten - Stephen G. Fritz
Not bad, but kind of wish I'd just read Guy Sajer instead, given how much he gets quoted by the author.
The New American Militarism - Andrew Bacevich
Excellent book, found myself agreeing with him a lot more often than not. Should be required reading for all soldiers, civil servants and (especially) politicians.
Flashman at the Charge - George MacDonald Fraser
Maybe the best one in the series so far. Great stuff.
