Fini/ Finally two "PhD adjacent" books. A lovely copy of a regimental history and what promises to be an interesting account of tactical intelligence in the Cold War era.
Lots of reading to be getting on with!

3/ By contrast both of these books have been on the radar for sometime.
I'm a big admirer of Hoffman's scholarship on Adaption, Innovation and Hybrid Warfare, and any book edited by Helen Parr, Frank Ledwidge and Aaron Edwards has got to be a 'must-read'.

2/...the first books I read in the New Year.
Both @rorycormac.bsky.social and Mark McGovern's books come highly recommended and I'll be looking forward to getting stuck in to these ASAP.

Oh, it would have driven me bananas. I've only had to read a few paragraphs and I'm in a worse mood for it 😆

...a range of excellent case studies ranging from across the 20th and 21st centuries. There's something of value here for a range of readers, from academics to practitioners alike.
It's certainly worth your time (and money!).
