Thanks for the kind words! I am really glad it is delivering for you. I have had a few e-mails asking why we didn't do the Navy. That was an intentional act. The intent of the book was to focus on the Army. As we didn't think there was anything in the English language that explained the Army in this way. While not the same, I think Holger Herwig did the Navy some justice in his book "luxury fleet". While he didn't do the social stuff, or the political stuff. It is still a good read about the Navy. We will try to include that if there ever is a second edition. If we do that, we will also increase the size of the pictures to help the contrast on some of the maps and our biggest gripe of all.--- We did not include an index at the end. That makes it harder for people to look things up. Just goes to show how much of a rank amateur operation we are! But we have had fun.
