He's a nice chap: gives the impression of quiet capability too...although I think from his slightly orange tint he'd been doing a lot of TV at the time!Admiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-66404357122865613092010-11-05T15:15:37.115+00:002010-11-05T15:15:37.115+00:00as a random note the PWRR was going to be my spons...as a random note the PWRR was going to be my sponsorship regiment when i was looking at joining the forces. though i never got to meet Col.

I think you mean "Armored Cav: A Guided tour of an Armored Cavalry Regiment" <br /><br />Another good Clancy book, from a Corps Commanders perspective of Operation Desert Storm is "Into the Storm: A Study in Command." It's pretty high level (that is, strategic as opposed to the day to day live of a tanker), but still has lots of good information in it.Dan Eldredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028212796512806387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-90811179360802050932010-11-05T11:31:57.804+00:002010-11-05T11:31:57.804+00:00Zzzzz- I sort of like Clancy- at least about 4-5 b...Zzzzz- I sort of like Clancy- at least about 4-5 books of his are pretty damn good and on my favorites list. Other than those select few, I have to read him in very small pieces because he likes to show off how much he knows.

A pretty complete profile of a modern (Gulf War 1) era armoured formation. <br /><br />To add to people's reading list (sit up straight, King. Pay attention in class):<br /><br />An Ordinary Soldier Doug Beattie. Commando Chris Terrill. Immedaite Response Mark Hammond. Eight Lives Down Chris Hunter. Apache Dawn Damien Lewis. Danger Close Stuart Tootal. Desparate Glory Sam Kiley. Apache Ed Macy. Armed Action James Newton.<br /><br />If you can get hold of anything by Micheal Yon, it'll probably be worth it just for the phots.Zzzzzzhttp://www.devos4.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-7051507068940942232010-11-05T09:22:42.667+00:002010-11-05T09:22:42.667+00:00Very good post, will check it out.I would also rec...Very good post, will check it out.I would also recommend "Sniper One" by Sgt Dan Mills about british infantry fighting primarily but with british and american armoured support in Iraq 2004.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-30544121807269507962010-11-05T02:57:54.146+00:002010-11-05T02:57:54.146+00:00Got any other books you can recommend?
