Another source of books and such. I've just placed the military section but there is far more. LINK REMOVED DUE TO COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS Thanks for the link That said, are all of those books copyright-free? It's still possible to buy some of the Osprey titles from the Osprey site - is there a chance some of those books on that site are infringing on copyright? Well, that is possible except that the site is in Europe hence the .eu suffix. If so, then possibly our copyright laws don't apply Personally, it ain't my problem, just my thoughts.

The site, whose above links to I removed, illegally hosts a huge number of copyrighted materials (including from authors whom are friends of mine), is notorious for not removing them, and is *NOT* to be posted here.
ANY LINK THAT CONTAINS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL IS NOT TO BE POSTED.
Thanks.

In order to prevent a copyright issue, I am not going to post archives anymore. I've posted the best already and that should be sufficient. If you do want something, I will try to help you search, but I will not put archives up here.
Enjoy what is here already. I have surveyed every link and deleted links that are no longer available and links that I felt were not necessary. I believe that what is on the thread is useful.

I said that I would not post anymore material on this thread but I am currently reading a very good book on Jutland. I know, more books on Jutland. However, this one is somewhat unique. It is a combination of two reports, one by Captain John Ernest Troyte Harper( He was a Captain when he wrote the research book) and another by Sir Reginald Bacon, Admiral of the British Navy. They are probably the best reports, one completed and published in 1927 and one that had its final revision in 1933. I urge all of you to find this book and read it. I think it will enlighten you and educate all of us on battle tactics in this period. This is the period of the RTW and RTW2, so I think it is relevant. The book is titled "The Jutland Scandal: The Truth About the First World War's Greatest Sea Battle". By Vice Admiral John Harper and Admiral Reginald Bacon.

For those of you with the interest, there is a book, at Internet Archive titled "Enemy Coast Ahead" written by the late WC Guy Gibson. Gibson was the commander of 617 Squadron of Lancaster bombers assigned to knock out the Eder, Sorpe and Mohner Dams. These were the Dam Busters. This is his account. Unfortunately, he did not survive the war, dying in a Mossie Raid later. Any way, it is free.
A good movie is the 1955 "The Dam Buster".

A good film about the accidental sinking and rescue of an Italian submarine in the 40s is "Uomini sul fondo" (Men on the seabed) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VnhzTq8W74It was shot by the film center of the Regia Marina and shows many interesting details.

I would like to know if there is a good narration online of the Hispanic American war, in which the Spanish point of view is also discussed in some detail
