From Merchantmen at Arms |
Books I got for Christmas (hardcovers):
Merchantmen at Arms (2nd ed) (link is to an e book version)
Outlaws of the Ocean
The Barbary Pirates (notable because it was written by C.S. Forester)
Then I got a collection of paperback books of the sort we used to pass around at sea before modern electronics (and no, not the sort of books you have in mind) but westerns, akin to Louis L'Amour: The Trail Ends at Hell, Brand of the Bullet, Hell in His Holsters, and the classic Ensign Pulver (unnecessary rip off of Mr. Roberts,in my view).
Thank you for the link, sir! I shall download Merchantmen at Arms.
ReplyDeleteYes! Thank you for the Merchantmen at Arms link. I am in the process of reading.
ReplyDeleteI still have the hyperwar World War II link you posted last year.
Happy to be of assistance!
