Solid, well written spy story from the Cold War. Characters are nicely wrought, and the story moves along smartly, especially in the last third of the tale.

pickThe book greatly describes the early stages of the Korean War. A good part of the book focuses on soldiers caught up in the fighting, portraying many of the struggles of war endured. Other parts describe the geopolitics during the lead-up. Several prominent figures, such as MacArthur and Mao, are also examined. Definitely worth reading.
pickSteven J Zaloga and James Loop‘s work, Soviet Elite Bloc, evokes a sense of nostalgia. Written in the 1980s, it reflects on several nations including some that no longer exist. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the elite forces of the Soviet Union and its Eastern European allies, offering information about the capabilities of each nation.
pickA middle-aged couple face the horrors of nuclear war in this sweet, but devastating adult picture book. A mis/under informed husband tries to man-splain away his worries while his caring but oblivious wife absent-mindedly goes along with his plans. Feels freshly relevant in our age of misinformation, as this couple could only operate with the information they had available, while so many today operate only with the info they choose to accept.
