Ironically I started reading the latest John le Carré just last night. Not wargames as such, but a colder conflict.

While remaining focused on painting figures for the Crete games, I am enjoying reading Roman Toeppel's "Kursk 1943: The Greatest Battle of the Second World War (Modern Military History)" in preparation for Miles' Kursk extravaganza. Should be about ready for a big anniversary by the time we can play again in 2023.

Currently reading Peter Hart's "The Last Battle Endgame on the Western Front 1918". All about the battles of September and October 1918. Quite an eye opener for me, not knowing a lot about the detail of WW! land battles.

I finally finished the Last Uthred, Laboured a bit with it but end was brill, Usually read a Cornwell in 1.5 days but this one seemed to drift a bit.
Still damn good though.

They are marvellous books. I cannot help but imagine Sean Bean as Uthred

"Mine were of trouble" by Peter Kemp - memoirs of an English member of the Carlists during the SCW. Been after a copy of this for years only to discover it reprinted as a cheap paperback.
Interesting, but best read with caution as his sympathies are right wing / conservative.

Not actually reading this because I have only just ordered it, but a couple of days ago I came across a new Men at Arms Osprey, Renaissance Armies in Italy 1450-1550 by Gabrielle Esposito. Just a heads up as I know some members are interested in the Great Italian Wars.

Currently re reading 'Apache Dawn' by Damien Lewis recounting the close air support helo operations in Afghanistan. Hats off to the Army Air Corps and all the guys involved. The amusing 'Health and Safety' regulations they encountered at Camp Bastion are unbelievable.
