Congratulations Jeff! I was ignorant of history until read "The Third World War 1985" by General Sir John Hackett. This was back in the late 70's early 80's. I credit that book for giving me an interest in history of all kinds, but especially military, that has only increased over the years. I think there are people like this author who is often cited now, Fukuyama, who wrote "The End of History", who think that all the bad stuff is behind us, and it can't happen again. I think some people grow up instinctively knowing how false that kind of thinking is, some folks never "get it", but there are folks like me who read a book like Hackett's or yours, and have an epiphany and are never the same again. Congratulations.

Thanks.

Please take the chance to read it, and if you like it, spread the word.
