If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
I’ve got it reserved on Overdrive I’ll let ya know how it goes.
My spouse, who possesses a puckish sense of humor, just gave a fresh copy of Flashman by George MacDonald Fraser to my 76- year-old mom.
Mom's usually a chick-lit reader.

I've only read the first one or two books in the series. Should I endeavor to read them all or is just more of the same?
There's nothing civil about this war.
Sort of like the Evanovitch "Stephanie Plum" series, One for the Money, etc. Once you get past #5 or #6, it's the same shit with minor variations.

Unfortunately, that doesn't give me much context but for the "once you get past #5...". Point taken. Thanks.

Just finished reading The Unthinkable. Some very good anecdotes in it such as the brief interview with Jim Cirillo and the final chapter about Rick Rescorla .

Did you enjoy the Richard Lester (Oliver Reed/Raquel Welch/Michael York/Charlton Heston) Three and Four Musketeers? He did the screenplays, and exhibit the same, um, sensibility.
His memoirs of WWII, Quartered Safe Out Here, are interesting, as is his history of the Scottish and English Borderers, The Steel Bonnets.
