Just got finished with an electronic book: The Battle of First Manassas by Aaron Killian on my Ipad but works with Mac or iTunes on computer. Fabulous interactive details and live narrative with appropriate era tunes...https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/the...ign-mpt=uo%3D4

And now I'm reading The Great War At Sea: 1914-1918 by Richard Hough. E-book version.

I finished UNDERSEA WARRIOR, by Don Keith recently. It's about Mush Morton and the Wahoo. Eventhough, I have already read about Morton, O'Kane and their sub, I still found it very enjoyable.

Am just finishing up THIS KIND OF WAR, by T. R. Fehrenbach. This one is about the Korean War. I would recommend this one highly for anyone interested in the subject. The author commanded troops in Korea at platoon, company and battalion levels, and provides many insights about both the military and political events that occurred. In particular, he goes into good detail about the chaos in the first days, the ill-fated Task Force Smith, the army's struggle to rebuild it's forces after the post WWII hibernation, and the long, drawn-out truce talks.

As a side note for Uncle Neal, T. R. Fehrenbach was a resident of Texas and had written about Texas history.

I'm also reading SPADEFISH, Stephen L. Moore. About Spadefish, a top-scoring USN sub, it is also quite good.

I'm going to read Blind Man's Bluff here soon.

It's about American Submarine Operations during the Cold War. Sounds like a good read. My submariner friend from this summer who served on the USS Woodrow Wilson recommended it to me.

Conway's The History Of The Ship: From Boats To Ships. Covers all the prehistoric and early ship remains that have been found, as well as cave drawings and other surviving pictures, up through about AD 1000. Each article was written by the leading expert in that field, edited by Robert Gardiner.

Wellington: the Path to Victory Rory Muir; just out: supposedly definitive on his military campaigns and politics! Scipio to Napoleon's Hannibal if ever! from Assaye in India under his brilliant brother thru the Spanish 'ulcer' campaign to Waterloo (old Nosey met Old Boney...who met his Waterloo!). He's not the Iron Duke for nothing!
