Once a Marine: The Memoirs of General A. A.… par A. A. Vandegrift

These memoirs were well-written and extremely influential for the research of my GCMH paper on logistics at Guadalcanal while I was at the NWC. Perhaps my most cited reference, his detailed recollections of the battle and the events leading up to it were incredible. Highly recommended.

The first Battle of the Marne par Robert B. Asprey

A short but useful account of the first decisive battle on the Western Front of WWI. It is strictly military in its coverage, and not well placed in context.

The Reign Of Napoleon Bonaparte par Robert Asprey

It's fine. Sometimes sympathetic portrayal of a steady, narrative type. Needed to read to catch up on Russian debacle to Waterloo time period due to reading Kissinger's book about Metternich.

The First Battle of the Marne par Robert B. Asprey

714. The First Battle of the Marne, by Robert B. Asprey (read 9 Dec 1962) This book is not bad but is not as enjoyable as Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August.
