:rofl: Got it for my little brother (Tfbandie) for Christmas. It's a little on the profane side (language-wise), but it's awesome.

I have a masters in history, my specialties are the the Hundred years war and Stalinist Russia with a good dose of Japanese history thrown in. If you want an excellent historical author who is unjaded by politicts and is not a terrible bore read anything by Robert Leckie. He is a rareity nowdays a strait shooter and is refreshing compared to people like James W. Loewen who function as a modern day agitprop.
