    @GrundleStiltzkin check out the addendum pod with Max Hastings about Vietnam. Hastings is the finest historian of our tim.

    Way late. But I read his book about WW2 ("Armageddon," I think??) a few years back. Great, great read. Put's everything Ambrose wrote in a much more realistic and less heroic context.

    Yes, Armageddon, is a great history of the end of the war.

    I loved how he portrayed Montgomery as the pompous ass he in fact was.

    Reminded me of other stories of British troops getting lost in the deserts of the Middle East, dying of starvation and dehydration in WW1, in another great book, "A Peace to End All Peace." The obsession with rules, orders and rank paralyzed the Brits to the point of causing needless deaths.

    Centuries of using commonwealth bodies as cannon fodder will do that to a military.
