I am quite envious of your amazing library. I have quite a few of the tomes you have listed, I am happy to say, and quite a few that you have not listed. I will have to get around to cataloguing them one of these days. I recently finished a truly amazing book, as listed below. HELL'S GATE: The Battle of the Cherkassy Pocket January to February 1944 by Douglas Nash This would be a worthy addition to your library. I'd read some strategic-tactical descriptions of this terrible struggle, but this one was right down in the mud, blood, and snow. The descriptions of individual actions and the desperate struggle from both sides was told through extensive interviews. It is quite pricey but worth every penny. I picked up a rather pristine copy used. Nash weaves an amazing description of the participants and their terrifying ordeal. He also covers the major strategic aims of both sides, as well as the tactical arrangements and the complexity of trying to collapse a surrounded pocket while breaking out towards friendly lines. I highly recommend this one. Heinrich505 Title: Re: Books: What's in YOUR Library?

Post by: Mad Russian on 22 February 2009, 01:43:50 Mad Russian, I am quite envious of your amazing library. I have quite a few of the tomes you have listed, I am happy to say, and quite a few that you have not listed. I will have to get around to cataloguing them one of these days. At the moment, I think I have roughly half, or less, of my library listed. I just added the Vietnam books I have today as well. I'm not surprised that others of you have books I don't have. Nobody can have them all but the Library of Congress. The rest of us just can't afford them all. You just find those you like and go from there. In my case a large part of my library is from what interests me and what may be a good deal at the moment. Good Hunting. MR Title: Re: Books: What's in YOUR Library? Post by: Mad Russian on 1 March 2009, 00:57:35 Added more books to the World War II list today. That brings the number of books in my library that I have cataloged here on WaT to 496.
There are more books that I have in all categories. I try to get a section at at time or just what I'm actually using when I get to the point of cataloging more of them to the lists. Good Hunting.

Title: Re: Books: Mad Russian's Library Post by: Mad_Russian on 9 March 2012, 21:15:51 We may actually be moving in the next couple of years. Until then I will continue to add to my library. It needs updated at the moment. All I need is the time to do the updates.....man, so many wargames, so little time!
