The Art of War | Tzu, Sunzi

Hence it is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for purposes of spying and thereby they achieve great results. Spies are a most important element in war, because on them depends an army‘s ability to move.

One of those post 9/11 anti-Muslim books. The number of slurs this guy uses…yikes.

The Bedford Incident | Mark Rascovich

Pickpick

This is a sturdy novel about a Cold War destroyer captain who plays too close to the edge in games with a Soviet sub. A jaded rapscallion of a press liaison is on hand as the audience surrogate, watching with suspicion as the captain‘s fanatical (and also surprisingly complex) nature is slowly revealed and the crew is amped up to a state of constant tension. Definite Caine Mutiny vibes with a touch of nuclear war…I mean, warning.

I head off today since I worked all last weekend, so it seemed like the perfect time to wander downtown and splurge with some new books and iced jasmine tea! 💕📚

Bombs Away: The Hot War | Harry Turtledove

When the Cold War goes hot the world suffers. Turtledove pulls no punches. I‘m looking forward to continuing this trilogy. Finished Jun 30, 2023.

jenniferw88 @Librarybelle, you definitely need to read in chronological order of events, not publication date. I've read it out of order, and it can be confusing! 13mo
Susanita I‘ve been listening to a podcast about Napoleon, and they interviewed Bernard Cornwell! 13mo
Bluebird Someday I‘ll get to this series. It‘s been on my list for awhile, but trying not to start new ones until I finish some of the many I‘m already reading 13mo
