I'm currently reading "The Conquest of Morocco" by Douglas Porch after finishing "The Conquest of the Sahara" by the same author. They're really wonderful books; well written with a compelling style that really draws you into the history. They're probably the best "popular history" books I've read in a very long time. Next up is Douglas Porch's history of the French Foreign Legion and I'll finish the classic "Beau Geste" by P.C. Wren very soon. (Can you see a theme to all this?)
After these, I have a non-fiction book about the Rifle units in Wellington's army that looks pretty good (a Christmas gift from a friend.) Eventually, I'd like to get back to finishing the Aubrey/Maturin series by O'Brian. (So many books, so little time!)
Regards,
Patrick
