I have been slowly working my way through Jason Mark's 'Islands of Fire' which is an incredibly detailed read of the fight around the Red Barricades; it was a bit pricey, but I suppose with the sales volume since he self-publishes vs cost of his efforts, it is to be expected. It's worth it, for sure.

I wrote Mr Marks about some of the data he covers in his book and he sent me documents that helped me with the Stalingrad scenarios I built - some OOB info. I thought that was really nice of him.

I recently purchased a slew of Osprey books off Amazon that I have been reading off and on when I find time. If you check out Amazon, they have some rediculous deals on some titles. I mean like I got a brand new copy of the Okinawa title for $5, Saipan for $7; I'm waiting on the Guam book, I got that one for $3.00. Osprey's booklets usually go for almost $20 anywhere else. The Osprey series can be a bit light on details as far as scenario building goes, though, but any title by Gordon Rottman is usually chock full of details that can be used in scenario building.
