If they’re written about current conflicts and strategies, which are so fluid, ofttimes the information is dated by the time the book hits the stores. I’d rather study the history and get the overall picture. Plus I’m not a follower of military affairs as a separate subject.</p> I pretty much stay away from contemporary military books.

I’d rather half the page be footnotes than have to do the bookmark in the back trick. It’s very annoying. And I read a LOT of books with notes, end and foot. Hand and foot. Hoof and mouth.
