Just finished "The Moscow Option" as well as "SS, The Blood Soaked Soil." Both extremely interesting, the first being an alternate history about the Wehrmacht taking Moscow and rampaging across Egypt, while the Japanese took Midway and headed off to finish the American Pacific Fleet. Great until the end, then all of a sudden nothing could go wrong for the Allies and they ended up turning it around.
The second was a standard history of the SS major campaigns. Pretty interesting to see how some of the top commanders made their way up the ladder and to see the casualty rates they sustained while still holding the line until the end.
Currently reading Steven Pressfields "Gates of Fire." Lighter fictional reading but very entertaining and well worth the $14 I paid.
