Military history suggested reading

No takers as of yet for the Military history reading challenge. Here is some suggestions for possible books on military history, if you need some ideas.

First of all there's my military history tag.

A Guide to Civil War Books for Beginners, Part 1: Civil War Overviews

Military Books - Recommended Military Reading Lists contains the US military lists for different ranks. Note some of it is fiction.

Canada at War 1939-1945 from the Toronto Public Library.

Military history reading challenge

Welcome to the first annual military history reading challenge. The idea is pretty simple between now and November 11 read 3 nonfiction books on military history topics. Sounds simple enough doesn't it? So what is military history? For the purposes of this I'm willing to take a broad perspective. Your titles could include any of the following:
  • Histories of wars, battles and campaigns from any time period.
  • Material on weapons, uniforms, tactics and strategy.
  • Memoirs and biographies of those who participated in conflicts.
To avoid current events the actions discussed should have taken place prior to 2001[actually on second thought let's change this to 2005]. I'll be posting in the next few days some links to recommended reading on various conflicts. If you know of a good one or have any questions feel free to leave a comment. I hope to be able to encourage some who are new to the topic to try some military history as well as those who already do read on the topic to try something different.

If you want to participate then post a list of your three titles on your blog with a link back to this post. Then put the link to your booklist in Mister Linky.
