CMSF and recommended reading books:
In 2005, I read a post by MadMatt and a few others that recommended some books on Desert Storm, IF, Shield, Afgan, Iraq and basically the big "sandbox."
I bought the following books at the forum's recommendation:
Storm on the horizon - david J. Morris
Certain Victory - Robert H. Scales, Jr.
Death Ground - Daniel P. Bolger
Heavy Metal - Jason Conroy
On Point - Gregory Fontenot
No true glory - Bing West
Ambush Alley - Tim Pritchard
We were one = Patrick K. O'Donnell
Presidential Command - Peter W. Rodman
The last Stand of Fax Company (not really the Middle East but Marines in combat)
The Failure Factory - Bill Gertz
Thunder Run - David Zucchino
Not a good day to dir - Sean Naylor
My War - Colby Buzzell
Basrah, Bagdad and beyond - Nicholas E. Reynolds
Afghan Guerrilla Warfare - Ali Ahmad Jalali and Lester W. Grau
The sling and the stone - Thomas X. Hammes
The march up - Bing west
I am running out of room in the house for my history books. I would like to offer them to a Battlefield and CM gamer first since you guys recommended them to me . Not sure if I am breaking some rules here but the first $50 plus shipping can have them. Please email me at shulland@gmail.com
Semper Fi,
