Christopher W. Wilbeck: Sledgehammers: Strengths and Flaws of Tiger Tank Battalions in World War II
Not a bad level of detail on Tiger/King Tiger battalions. Key takeaway: Good as mobile anti-tank blockhouses in the defence; poor as spearhead elements in long-range mobile operations.Mike Tucker: Among Warriors in Iraq: True Grit, Special Ops, and Raiding in Mosul and Fallujah
Meandering grunt-level view of US military operations in two of Iraq's insurgent hell-holes in 2004, which seems like a million years ago. Interesting for its rare criticism of Petraeus' term in Nineveh as a divisional commander.
