    no but its on my list...Next up is a biography of Giap. Hands down the best "Nam" books I've read are "Bright Shining Lie" by Sheehan for a total perspective and "Steal My Soldier's Hearts" by Hackworth for getting an all to real feel for light infantry fighting.

    I've recently finished reading Gaius Marius: The Rise and Fall of Rome's Saviour.

    Marius rose from humble beginnings to be elected consul and to become the most powerful man in Rome. It's an excellent biography of a man who was a brilliant general, but a ruthless politician, as was his rival and worst enemy Sulla. Marius was Julius Caesar's uncle by marriage, and his friend Cinna was the father of Caesar's first wife.
