Reading List recomendations
Austin Bay publishes his list here. There are a lot of books on insurgencies and our war witht he Islamist religious bigots.
The Small Wars Journal also has an excellent selection of books with links to Amazon for those wishing to buy.
I will be adding my own list in an update soon.
I just finished Martin Russ's Breakout, The Chosin Reservoir Campaign, Korea 1950. It is the third or fourth book I have read on this remarkable campaign and probably the best. December 15 will be the 56th anniversary of the survivors loading onto the bouts and leaving North Korea after destroying the Chinese 9th Army that out numbered them by more than six to one. It has to be the greatest retrograde operation since about the same number of Greeks fought their way back from Persia after their allies collapsed, as told by Xenophon in The Persian Expedition. There is also a discussion of the Greek experience in victor Davis Hanson's Carnage and Culture.
Another great book about the war in Korea is Commander Eugene Franklin Clark's The Secrets of Inchon, The Untold Story of the Most Daring Covert Mission of teh Korean War. The book tells the truly remarkable story of a clandestine operation by Clark and two former Korean intelligence officers as they worked with locals on the islands off of Inchon.
