J.R.R. Tolkien: The Fall of Arthur
This book is recommended by Thygocanberra. I have a copy and will read with interest.
J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings
What can I say. My favourite book. I think I have at least four different editions.
R. G. Grant: Battle: A Visual Journey Through 5,000 Years of Combat
This is the dream book for wargamers. Literally hundreds of battles. Over 350 pages of full colour illustrations. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
John Gibson Warry: Warfare in the Classical World: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Weapons, Warriors, and Warfare in the Ancient Civilizations of Greece and Rome
We all have a wonderful book with fantastic illustrations, that amazed us in childhood, and followed us to our grown up bookshelf. This is one of those books. (*****)
Antony Beevor: Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege: 1942-1943
In school we were taught such an English view of World War II. Now I have discovered the epic battles on the Eastern Front, truly gargantuan conflicts. This book is a great introduction to the Eastern Front and a brilliant history book. (*****)
Nothing, I concur. But this is not a crusade, though I suggest the crusades did nothing for the local Christians either. I am not aware of anyone going anything, other than speaking, to reduce the loss of life in Syria, or to protect minorities such as the Christians.
Which approach to you prefer?
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt were persecuting the Christians. The army has reduced that, but there is little else in the behaviour of the army that is worthy of merit.

Was has America done to help the Christians in Iraq and Syria and everywhere else they have invaded or meddled in. Nothing.

I concur that Al Qaeda is in Syria. I would extend that to claim that Al Qaeda is in every middle eastern insurgency - as a splintered group of jihadists. Solution? More drones. I hope not. Promoting health education and prosperity - absolutely.
What also offends me is that their Anglicization is without a U. If they need a Kw sound use a Qu. If you want it shorter, use a "K". We added that to the Latin alphabet for just such a purpose.
