That looks good, from the reviews it may be one of the better accounts of the campaign and the Australian author manages to broaden the focus away from the ANZACs, many here would be ignorant of the fact that there were many more Brits and French than Kiwis and Australians.

Kids got this for me for Father's Day. If the name rings a bell he was one of the guys instrumental in supplying the muhj in Charlie Wilson's War.

You should look into the Commonwealth Saga. It's probably one of the best sci-fi space opera series I've read.

I'm 80 pages in and OMG. Talk about being the right guy at the right place at the right time in the right job.
Benghazi: Know Thy Enemy
Lots of interesting info in the first couple and last couple chapters that I never heard from the 13 Hours movie or subsequent videos and interviews. The middle chapters are background on about 130 jihadis from all over the middle east and N. Africa that planned or took part in the Sep. 11, 2012 attacks that killed our Ambassador and attacked the Benghazi annex. Each one gets a few pages devoted to their affiliations, connections, and any attacks they are linked to.
The major theme surrounds the fact that DoS unknowingly hired AQ affiliated jihads for security (17th Feb) and continues to deny the fact AQ including Al-Zawahiri planned and perpetrated the attacks. Some of the lower level guys involved in planning and coordination are set up as the "masterminds" to hide DoS's colossal fuck up.

Where it really gets fucked is if you listen to the Shawn Ryan Show episodes with Sarah Adams.
Watched it all, that's why I decided to get the ebook.
Anyone read this one? Thinking about buying a copy.
Starting the book series Aubrey-Maturin series. It’s the book series with Master and Commander as the first book. Wife bought it on accident so fuck it, might as well read them.

Awesome books and awesome TV series.
I bought this masterpiece of a book, brand new, for about $50...and am pretty much living within its 1,100+ pages. It was written by David Chandler, and originally published in the 1960's. Chandler was the head of the Department of War Studies at Sandhurst.
Vivid writing, superb maps--about 80 of them--brilliant scholarship.

Just finished The Peacock and the Sparrow.
Not too bad. Fictional account of a Case Officer working in Bahrain during the Arab Spring.
