I've been asked a few times where I get my info for military articles...Besides the internet where I can verify data from multiple sources, I own a small bookshelf of sources I've collected over the years...Many of them I've read more than once, and a few are very well thumbed as a constant resource...
As I re-read the older ones I write reviews on them as well as the new ones I buy...If the Lord blesses me with enough time, I'll eventually get around to my opinion on all of them; if not, one of you goobers will have to take up the slack...
I thought it might be helpful to alphabetically list what's on the shelf now concerning war and militaria...I'll star (**) and link the ones I've reviewed, and I'll add to the list as it grows...Suggestions are always welcomed...
