Any readers out there??

Very illuminating. Especially the letters at the end of the war.

I'm a rabid reader, hooked solid on Stephen Hunter novels. This is after my time reading everything from Clancy, Thor and Ludlum. Thinking about adding Jack Carr to the list. Most of my reading time is spent lakeside in the shade enjoying the nature outside and pondering life itself.

Reading the Hunter novel "Snipers Honor" for the third time, it's that good, as is all of his work. This one includes much WWII history and centers on an actual Russian girl sniper with an incredible record in the field. Plus, he's "one of us" too, and spent some time PD'ing from a BRP a few years ago and knows his way around a rifle quite well.

The movie "Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg was adapted from his novel "Time to Hunt" (the book as usual is 10X better than the movie.)

If you like Thor, you will love Carr. The best part of Jack’s stuff is he brings a very unique voice to the combat parts of his books because even though it is fiction it is rooted in realism.

Ditto on Prescision Shooting mag and the offshoot Accurate Shooter mag. Too bad they shut down rght after I sent them my subscription renewal money ...and yes , no refund.

Great. Another magazine I’ll need to track down. Somewhere someone mentioned small caliber news as a good reading source. I’ve only been able to find one.
Thanks though.

The 'Varmint Hunter' was a very good reading. I was in the process of sending pictures to join the '500yard Club', when they closed the doors. I wish someone would pick up the format, it looked profitable and saleable. Some of my friends had articles published.

Any of the Sanford books(characters) are great reads.

Nelson DeMille , everything he wrote.
Up Country is my favorite but I’m prejudice.
Word of Honor gives a really different look at the US military, especially if you were an officer and think you’re all done with the service.
The man had a very unique way with words. He writes as if he’s talking to you.
It’s actually the only fiction I read.

Him and Robert B Parker

If you care for fiction, Wilbur Smith can mesmerize me, fantastic stories about Africa, Egypt and fictional families living there. All based on him visiting the areas and being familiar with them.

If you like factual books, I highly recommend Spearhead by Adam Makos. It's about a gunner on one of the first Pershing tanks that fought in WWII. Great ending.

Another good factual book is Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard. It's about Garfield's assassination and weaves in the discovery that doctors should be antiseptic (they weren't back then) and the development of x-ray machines.

If you are really into facts, I just started Ordinance Up Front by Roy Dunlap. It's about a WWII ordinance man that worked on and catalogued all of the weapons and ammunition he encountered during his career.

‘With the Old Breed’ is my favorite book about WWII. I’ve listened to it a number of times

I would agree as long as we are talking only about the books he himself actually wrote...not the ones supposedly written "from his extensive notes concerning story line ideas" by Smith wannabes after his death. Horse hockey! Pale copies of Smith's genius with only brief flashes barely imitating his brilliance. Smith was a South African (Zambia) who had a love for his country's history.

I wasn’t aware of this, but I haven’t read him in quite a while. I started reading him in 1976 after seeing “Shout at the Devil” starring Lee Marvin.

The book Unbroken about Ernie Zamperini is FANTASTIC and after you've read it a GREAT reminder of how much whatever it is that's going on in your life maybe isn't quite as bad as you initially thought.
And if it IS bad it can still be overcome.

Just when you think they can't throw anymore at that guy THEY DO.
