Fiction:
The “Flashman” series by George Macdonald Frasier;
The “Polesotechnic League” series by Poul Anderson;
Anything written by Robert E. Howard;
“Dune” by Frank Herbert;
The “Eric John Stark” stories and novels by Leigh Brackett; and
“Dorsai” by Gordon R. Dickson.
Nonfiction:
“Foreign Devils on the Silk Road” by Hopkirk, Peter.
Thank you, I was googling some of them and they look really great, looks like you choose great books!
I think “Soldier, Ask Not” was better than “Dorsai.”
That being said, all were good.
Btw, Joe Haldeman’s “The Forever War” and “All My Sins Remembered” are excellent SF.
