Self ping in case I can remember to bring the book I am currently reading into the house tomorrow.
I now have a tendency to keep my books in my car because it gives me an excuse to go to some public place to drink coffee,read books,and maybe communicate with other humans occasionally.

@Gefn Ok,maybe my all-time favorite writer is W.E.B Griffin. I got hooked on him when,by pure chance,I happened to buy the first book in his "Brotherhood of War" series,titled "The Lieutenants". This series starts in pre-WW-2 Korea,and introduces the first of many characters whose military careers are followed in the following series.
It's main character is a lowly USMC Corporal truck driver that seems to be in charge of running supply convoys to remote outposts,and spying on the Koreans while doing so. He ends up earning the nick-name "Killer McCoy". I won't mention how or why he got it and what happens with/to him afterwards because I don't want to spoil your fun.
As with all his books,there will be mentions of actual battles that took place in each time frame.
Each series of books follows the careers of McCoy and the other main characters as they enter the scene and intermingle,and the series goes right up to war in present times (the 1970's-80's when the books were written)
I will tell you this,when he gets into SF operations,I knew several of the people he was writing about even though he changed their names. He couldn't have possibly known those details without interviewing them or someone VERY closely involved in those operations.
He tells the stories so well he ended up being made an Honorary Member of the Special Operations Association,and AFAIK,he is the only one ever given that honor.
BUT....,do yourself a huge favor and start with this book,and then read your way forward.
BTW,do NOT expect a lot of blood and guts being flung around in graphic detail. These people are more along the line of historic events being described,than blood and guts being blown around.
