You are talking about a book aren't you?

Now you got me curious. They don't read anything on here anyway.

Ah...okay then. Suit yourself.

I'll say this though, I go to public school. I had it all figured out by the end of 2nd Grade.

----

Took a bunch of my old books to that used book place. I got like 55$ in credit.

I looked for RSRD and U-Boat War and any other submarine books. I didn't see those but I picked up a couple books and I'm going back on Monday to take a better look around since I didn't have much time today.

I got:

Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell - About Operation Redwing and the last surviving Navy SEAL from the failed operation written by the SEAL himself.

With The Old Breed by E.B. Sledge - Anybody who's seen The Pacific knows who E.B. Sledge is. A US Marine who served in the 1st Marine Div, 3rd Bn, 5th Marines in World War 2. This one helped create the story for the show along with a couple others that I'm wanting to get.

Submarine: A Guided Tour Inside A Nuclear Warship by Tom Clancy - Nonfiction book about none other than....the Submarine by my favorite author.

Generation Kill by Evan Wright - I've been wanting to see the miniseries for months now so I bought the book. I hear it's really good so I'll check it out.

Pretty good haul for just a skim through the military section.

I ordered a couple of books from the library got'em a couple days ago. The first 1 is WOLF PACK The story of the U-Boat in WW2, an so far its been great it breaks down the different U-Boats an their specs like length surface/submerged speed etc, the bunkers at each base, clothing, medals pretty much everything you could want to know about the U-Boats but I'm still reading it so more to learn ha. The second book is U-Boat Warfare the evolution of the wolf pack its pretty much a detailed study about the strategy an tactics of the U-Boats. Explains the hows an whys BDU planned attacks an how they set up the wolf packs. Also talks about what the British did to counter everything the Germans did. I've pretty much bounced back an forth between the two I'd suggest them to everybody

I read a book about the raids (think it was the Greatest Raid of All), very impressive bravery and balls.

Jimbuna · 07-15-13, 10:52 AM

Just started this Ebook but it does look promising.

The other I've just grabbed is Submarines of the IJN 1940-45 and that looks even better.

I don't have that but if you don't have my version we could always do a swap (for evaluation purposes).

Not sure how we could swap. My ebook is from Amazon, and they tend to frown upon such things.
