War Memoirs Reading List

I enjoy reading military memoirs and over the past 8 months have collected so many that my personal library features over 100 memoirs from several wars.

I am making this list because I feel that I have bought too many and find myself wanting to buy more. I need to make a list of the ones that I bought and read them before I buy more, dammit.

Books I own that have gotten 4<5/5 stars from reviewers I trust:

Crack and Thump (5)

Roll Me Over (5)

A Foot Soldier for Patton (4.75)

The Long Road of War (4.5)

Taught to Kill (4.5)

Backs to the Wall (4.5)

Combat Officer (4.25)

Commissioned in Battle (4.25)

Steel Helmet and Mortarboard (4)

I rode the subway this morning with the “old lady” of the old lady/young lady optical illusion.

I liked this well over 8 months ago and just pulled it up again to laugh at hysterically. I laughed so hard that I woke up my girlfriend and asked her how to spell “hysterically” to write this post.

This is pretty weak, I bet you can shop the doctor onto a lot of famous people. What I’m saying is, this discovery doesn’t warrant the final panel.
