Just picked up "In the name of Rome" by Adrian Goldsworthy. The book is a study on the Roman art of command, by examining specific commanders during the Republic, the Principate and the Empire.
Very good so far.

The Irish War: The Hidden Conflict between the IRA and British Intelligence
By Tony Geraghty
For anyone interested in looking at the way the intelligence services and terrorists interact during COIN Ops, this is a good read if you can get beyond the specifics related to Ireland. There's stuff in here that went on all the time behind the scenes that I was only vaguely aware of, and that we were NEVER supposed to talk about, which is obviously why the MoD took the author to court.

Synopsis
Geraghty, a British subject, an Irish citizen, a writer and a military advisor, explores the roots of the civil war in Northern Ireland since the Battle of the Boyne (1690), paying particular attention to the last 30 years of violence. Drawing on public and classified sources, as well as interviews with members of British intelligence, British military sources, Unionist paramilitaries, and the IRA, the book reveals the conflict to have expanded to include convert operations, surveillance, and brutal interrogation techniques. The author was arrested in 1998 for violating Britain's Official Secrets Act because he wrote in this book about computer programs used by British security to profile suspected terrorists. The case was dismissed a year later. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Publishers Weekly
The former chief reporter of the London Sunday Times, Geraghty (Who Dares Wins; The Bullet Catchers) here assesses "Irish identity," which he sees as "the true source" of the continuing troubles in Northern Ireland. The IRA, he says, has hijacked Irish identity and created something that "owes little to real Celtic culture." What the IRA "peddles" as Irish identity, Geraghty contends, is "a powerful, dynamic force which politicizes the natural culture and envenoms it through an obsession not with Ireland but with England." The book's first three sections present a highly opinionated look at the last 30 years of "Troubles," while the last section is a satisfying survey of 300 years of the relationship between Ireland and England in 100 pages. Geraghty uses a patchwork of sources, including interviews with British intelligence and IRA officials and his firsthand reporting of the fighting in Northern Ireland in 1969-1971 as a Times reporter. The author, who served with the British Red Berets and as a liaison officer in the Persian Gulf War, was arrested in 1998 after this book's British publication and accused of violating Britain's Official Secrets Act by mentioning sensitive software. The case was highly publicized in Britain. The book's strengths are its attention to detail and its direct, potent writing. While the revelations pertaining to spy methodology and guerrilla fighting might not strike readers on these shores with the same force as they did those on the other side of the pond, the book makes a compelling introduction to a painful struggle.

A good piece of fiction (with a smidge of factual details) thats quick and easy to read is Timothy Findley's 'The Wars'.
It's a fictional story of a young Canadian Soldier in WWI.
Pretty easy to find too.

Reading through the thread, it seems most works tend to be army focused, at least from my limited perspective. I was wondering if someone could reccomend something on the Air element of the CF?

Actually, there are a significant number of books written on the history of the Avro Arrow, which is inseparable from the RCAF history of the period (mid 50s through early 60s), and a good introduction to the politics of Canadian defence spending.

"Quartered Safe Out Here" by George MacDonald Fraser. Fraser was the author of the acclaimed "Flashman" series. However, in "Quartered" he recounts his experiences as a rifleman in a battalion of the Border Regiment fighting in Burma in WW2. An excellent account of being a rifleman, how a section works and the Burma war. Highly recommended.
Another book that is strongly recommended is "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield. A fictionalized account of the Battle of Thermopylae it goes over how the Spartans were trained, their doctrine and the battle itself in stark, vivid prose.

Anything by Terry Copp is absolutely first class. I took his books along on a battlefield tour of Belgium and Holland a few years ago and they are right on the money. I especially like how he talks about the personality clashes between leaders and other 'SNAFUs' at all levels that always cause problems for the troops - the reality of any conflict.

:rage: Think you might have read it, but you sure didn't understood it. :rage:Spearin said:
Yes a real good read, especially for officers or those who want to become officers. If possible I would read the original version "Vom Kriege", as well as "Der Feldzug von 1796 in Italien", "Die Feldzüge von 1799 in Italien und der Schweiz" and "Der Feldzug von 1812 in Russland, der Feldzug von 1813 bis zum Waffenstillstand und der Feldzug von 1814 in Frankreich".Michael O`Leary said:

I was a little surprised to not see this one on the list:
If the Gods are Good
(The epic sacrifice of the HMS Jervis Bay)
by Gerald l. Duskin and Ralph Segman
I first heard about the Jervis Bay from an older brother who served on the Restigouche in the 70's. It's quite the story and one that the British, for some reason, seem to downplay.
The book in question is written by a couple of Americans (hence the reference to "the HMS") but they did a pretty good job of it, IMHO and the book has plenty of background information on the ships and parties involved, as well as a compelling account of the actual battle (including a few photo's taken from the Admiral Scheer at the time of the fight).
If I'm not mistaken, there were some thirty Canadians serving on the Jervis Bay at the time of her sinking. But Canadian connection or not, the story is well worth knowing and these two American gentlemen managed to do it the justice it deserves.

For those who are still looking for books about the Canadian military, here is a reading list of books written by professional Canadian historians. It was my bibliography for a masters level historiographical article on Canada's participation in both world wars. The list is army heavy. This is a result of the army being the only branch to properly publish official histories following the Second World War. The Navy finally got its official history published earlier in this decade as did the Air Force so the work done by scholars in this area is not as well developed, but I know there are a few historians currently working in these areas so stay tuned.
Excellent authors to follow are Jack Granatstein (Canada's leading military historian), Tim Cook and Terry Copp. For the Navy look for books by Roger Sarty and Marc Milner.
