5. Dreaming Eagles by Garth Ennis and crew. I know it is a graphic novel but damn this is a good take on generations moving things forward. And it is about killing Nazis and the Red Tails.

4. Paddy Mayne by Hamish Ross. For those who loved Rogue Heroes, this is a completely different (and more accurate) view of LTCOL Paddy. Less animal and far more hard man and cerebral leader.

3. How to Win an Information War by Peter Pomerantsev. Must read for anyone in my field. A book about Sefton Delmer instead of one by him. And just as awesome.

2. Total Cold War by Kenneth Osgood. Recently there has been a lot of love for the “Long Telegram” written by George Kennan in 1946. Osgood’s book focuses on implementing policy and process as result of Kennan’s signal flare. The PSB under Ike is worth real study for today.

1. By All Means Necessary by Mike Vickers.
An inspiring account of a legend in his field. Key takeaway — ‘When a leader of a totalitarian state tells you what they are going to do, believe them.’ Policy types struggle with this book because his career was about acheiving solutions. Quickly.

As long as you kept the shoe rack plans …

Was not allowed close enough … :)

That Malvern Star 3-speed was the envy of every kid in the neighbourhood in its day. Faded into obscurity with the rise of the BMX in the early 80s. I blame Nicole Kidman and the release of BMX Bandits in 1983

I know it will change but it has serious Fortitude (set in Alaska) vibes. In Ep 1.
