Sobre mimCurrent student at Brandon University. Working on a 4-year BA in History, as such most of my current purchases are non-fiction history books or historical fiction.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaMy library is largely the product of the last two or so years of my life as I've continued to spend a large part of my disposable income on books mostly from the two or three nice little used or overstock bookstores that somehow manage to exist in this smallish city. Overall I'd have to say its really shaping up to focus on a few distinct genres or categories:

- American History
- British History
- Canadian History
- Political Biography
- Military History
- The First World War
- The American Civil War
- Naval Warfare
- Slavery and Abolitionism Studies

I also have smaller collections on the Second World War, the Napoleonic Wars, Classic Fiction, Historical Fiction, Latin American History, and Byzantine History.

Hi Andrew,

I recently came across CEF Books www.cefbooks.ca they're doing some reprints including Ghosts have warm hands by Bird and Agar Adamson's letters. Norm Christie seems to be behind it. Worth a look IMO.

Jeremy
Ok thanks anyway.
Hi Andrew,

How are you doing? Would you happen to have come across anything on the Canadian 5th Armored Division in your reading? A friend's grandfather served and she's interested in doing the battlefield tour thing. From what I've been able to gather they were in Sicily then pushed through the Hitler and Gothic lines. My coverage for the Italian campaign is pretty spotty. Anyway if something jumps to mind I'd love to hear about it.

Jeremy
Good to know it wasn't just me.:) Hopefully he'll write some more we definitely need more like that for the Canadians in WWI.

Jmnlman
That will definitely be on my wish list, thanks for pointing it out. Now I just have to get through some of these Christmas books first.:)

jmnlman
Hi CSL; check with LT member MACBETH RE Byzantine titles; that seems to be one of his areas. Regardless, he has an interesting library. CHeers, A
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll be on the lookout for it.from the title it sounds like an operational history? Does he get into the tactical development as well?
I take it you enjoyed Robert Graves' I, Claudius - so did I. There is a second part called Claudius the God, and, if you have not read it allready, I can recommend The Twelve Caesars by Suetonius, who had access to the imperial archive during the reign of Hadrian.

Ted
I enjoyed Troublesome Young Men also. Though I didn't learn anything new, it still was a good read and I finished it in two days.
Ted
Thanks. I will put The Arctic Grail on my (long) TBR list. It seems to be one of his most noted books. I regret that the book on Vimy Ridge is not at our library. World War One is a big interest of mine.
I am wrong. There are seven books by Pierre Berton in our library (Sioux City). Which one do you recommend I read?
Thanks for finding my library--actuall my list of books read--interesting. When I click on "raw" for you I find only five other persons have more books in common than do you and I. And I am familiar with all but Richard Holmes and Pierre Berton on your list of Favorite Authors. There is no book by Breton in our library, and I wonder if thereis one in an Iowa library.

I'd be interested in any book which I have not read which you feel is really grearT.
Saw you had added my on your favorite library list...my focus are the "Sideshows" of WWI (Mesopotamia, Palestine, East Africa)...hope you enjoy.
I wanted to drop you sa line saying we are the only two people on LT with Potomac's Wellington and that our reviews are remarkably similar. We also share nineteen titles, indeed. Anyway, you have an excellent collection and I will be mining you library for future reading.
Considering our discussion on recent trends in history you might find this interesting:. http://www.nas.org/polArticles.cfm?Doc_I...
Let me know what you think of it. It's currently in my TBR pile as well.
Nice to know somebody reads the blog.:) I don't mind inclusion. The big man history does have some drawbacks but the scorched earth policy many social historians have drives me nuts. I'm apparently a right-wing sociopath for wanting to know why Napoleon lost Waterloo. The really scary thing is the "new military history" no tactics strategies or battles.

When was the last Canadian military history book you saw from an academic other than Terry Copp, Granatstein, Morton or Bercuson? There are some non-academics doing some good work but that next-generation of academics doesn't seem to exist. It's a little scary...
Flattered that you find my library interesting. If I can ever be of help with a subject of interest please let me know. Although I will be away for sometime starting mid-June.
The sale is also on the website. I think they may have sold out of that at the warehouse.

jmnlman
I don't think you'll regret it. It's a real advance over what's been available.
Well happy birthday! Chapters is also doing a big remainder sale at the moment. Nothing particularly earth shattering but a few interesting titles "Fall of Toulon by Ireland, A Most Damnable Invention: Dynamite, Nitrates, and the Making of the Modern World and 1805: Austerlitz: Napoleon and the Destruction of the Third Coalition by Robert Goetz mysteriously ended up in my basket.:)

jmnlman
I see you also received "F.N.G." from Early Reviewers. Looks like it should be interesting.

Jmnlman
Hi CSL, we share quite a number of books now! Hope you enjoy Goldsworthy's series on Roman military history. I devoured them!
Ted
Hi Andrew: hope you find some titles of interest on my shelves. I have some friends you might check out as well: DONOGH, MACBETH, RUDEL519, SHRIKE58 ...loys of interesting books! Regards, A
Im currently reading To Rule the Waves: How the British Navy Shaped the Modern World which is very interesting. Im about 1/2 way through and its very good so far. I love interesting history books and am always looking for new leads....

I see you have 3 of Robert K Massie's books in your library - he's my favorite author because he does such as wonderful job of writing about history. Ive forced his books on many friends and family members who normally dont read nonfiction.

Also recently read All the Shah's Men & King Leopold's ghost which were both excellent.

And you?
Thanks for the comment! A confession: I haven't read Theodore Rex yet. I fully intend on it this coming year though! I just finished reading River of Doubt, and enjoyed it as a story of courage.
