Hex_Arenas Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Sir, I got the book from a visit to a BOOKSALE shop. The one in STARMALL. You're the first I thought of when I got it, and it's too bad it was not an e-book (I could send it via email if it was an ebook). I just know you'll love this book. Medyo makapal yung book and di pa ako finished even a quarter of the way. Many, many interesting articles written by reputable historians. I think maybe I can scan some pages and post. I'll be on the looout for another copy everytime I go to Booksale outlets. These are the other articles: What if the army of Senaccherib carried out their seige of Jerusalem and destroyed it? There would be no Judaism, no Christianity, and no Islam. But the army of Senacherib was devastated by a plague. What if the Persians won at Salamis? What if Ogadai did not die when he did, and the Mongol Golden Horde continued to penetrate Italy? What if D-Day failed? What if Midway ws a disaster for the Allies? What if the Muslims won at Poitiers? What if the Emperor Valens won at Adrianople? What if Alexander died earlier before he became great? Quote Link to comment
Hex_Arenas Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Sir, in order to unpack .rar files, you need to have WINRAR installed in your pc. WINRAR can be downloaded free from downloads.com, just type rar in the search field I wish there was an e-book of THE COLLECTED WHAT IF, so that I could share it with you. If I happen to come across another copy I would get it immediately and send to you. It just cost me around 350 pesos Amazon lists the 2 volumes, there's more info at these links: http://www.amazon.com/What-If-Foremost-Mil...d_cp_b_1#reader http://www.amazon.com/What-If-Eminent-Hist..._b_img_b#reader Quote Link to comment

starslayer13 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik (Napoleonic Wars military fiction) is a good read. It features the wonderful addition of fictional dragons in a 18th century backdrop! Refreshing! Quote Link to comment
Itto Ogami Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I read it way back in the 80's, the protagonist is a pinoy. right on, Doc! :thumbsupsmiley: the original name of the hero was Juan Rico,but, in the movie, they anglicized it to Johnny Rico. Quote Link to comment
