1 British Ironclads 1860–75: HMS Warrior and the Royal Navy’s ‘Black Battlefleet’ Would have been better on paper
2 McNamara’s Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War Weak as a history, but still very important

Thought-provoking
4 The War Before the War Very uneven, untrustworthy
5 Team of Vipers Uneven and with little new information
6 The Blood Telegram Nixon was a Bastard
7 In the Closet of the Vatican Breathlessly written
8 Grant Moves South A standard history and character sketch.
9 Breakout and Pursuit. Just ever-so-slightly untrustworthy
10 My Life in the Red Army A short memoir
11 Letters from Gronow Cheap science fiction; I liked it
12 A Short History of the Confederate States of America I read it when I want to get angry
13 The Book of General Ignorance Gosh that was bad.
14 A Stillness at Appomattox Standard history. Halfway through I remembered reading it years ago in paper.
15 Spearhead (Adam Makos) “Makes you think”
16 Let it Burn: MOVE, the Philadelphia Police Department… A better book ought to be written.

18 Hell to Pay; Operation DOWNFALL Poorly written, but the best popular history on the subject.
19 Learning from the Germans Moved from factual to preachy
20 The Marshall Plan; Dawn of the Cold War Worth it just for the speech
21 The Genius of Birds
22 The Guarded Gate Best book of the year
23 Dead Wake; The last Crossing of the Lusitania A great sea story

25 Grantville Gazette #9 Cheap Science Fiction
26 Antietam (Catton) A booklet really
27 A Stillness at Appomattox I read it as a child
28 My Life in the Red Army (Virski) Not too long, and interesting as a day-by-day history.
29 Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam The old translation; I can never finish this.
30 Grant Moves South A Classic
31 In the Closet of the Vatican Interesting but I am not sure I support his theories.
32 Breakout & Pursuit Helps in my understanding
33 Team of Vipers Well worth your time
34 Eichmann Before Jerusalem Seems to be definitive
