Reader Bill Befort has this to say about the S.L.A. Marshall controversy:
S.L.A. Marshall deserves very little of the criticism he’s received, most of it from people who never got around to challenging him while he was alive to reply. Even his disputed claim that three-quarters of US WWII infantrymen would fail to engage in any [...]

UPDATE: Grimmy weighs in with Band of Brothers : E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest, by Stephen Ambrose, and Band of Brothers, the fine HBO series that is one of my favorites because of its fidelity in depicting real events in the lives of real people.

It would have to be a day I slept in due to late duties … paying attention to Massachusetts legislators’ preference for dunning us rather than detaching their layabout relatives from the public tit, plus a couple of updates re this damned swine flu.

Soldiering: The Civil War Diary of Rice C. Bull. MikeHu’s rave review:
This is a great Union soldier-grunt’s eye view of the Civil War, based on journals and written a number of years after the war. Bull somehow survived Chancellorsville, being wounded there and being a Confederate POW (which made him miss Gettysburg). He writes [...]
