 Rereading Neil Short's 'Tank Turret fortifications', excellent information but also quite soporific.

| Brassey's book of Camouflage: Amazon.co.uk: Brassey's Book of Camouflage: Tim Newark: Books Very slim history of camouflage development combined with a good number of full page illustrations of patterns from the 40's onwards. More of a coffee table 'art' book than any sort of proper history, but excellent reference for figure modellers. It's whetted my appetite for this rather more substantial coverage though.

| Just finished 'Eight Lives Down' by Major Chris Hunter. It's about a bomb disposal guy in Iraq. And just started 'The Ghost' by Robert Harris.

| Just began "Key to the Sinai: The Battles for Abu Ageila in the 1956 and 1967 Arab-Israeli Wars" by George Gawrych, published by the Combat Studies Institute in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Interesting stuff about tactical combat in the Middle East.
