So far an excellent book with good historical references to the early church fathers view on war and soldiering..

Great read. Milk it for the nuggets of wisdom.

Just finished reading

Climax: The History of Colorado's Climax Molybdenum Mine--Mountain Press Pub Co. (Paperback)
~ Stephen M. Voynick
Stephen M. Voynick (Author)
ISBN-10: 0878423540
ISBN-13: 978-0878423545


http://www.amazon.com/Climax-History...2660051&sr=1-1

It is about a molybdenum mine in Colorado. If you have interest in mining or construction, it is a great read and your municipal library may have it available for loan. The mine was one of the first, if not the first to use a block caving technique to carve out a cave inside, then blow the roof and have the mountain collapse on itself causing a glory hole depression seen from the surface.

warning - as a side note, do not search for "climax glory hole pictures" from work. The term has alternate meanings.

I just picked up "Storming Las Vegas" by John Huddy based on a friends recommendation.

Its about a Cuban born, Soviet trained commando that takes down the Las Vegas strip; 5 hotels and 3 armored cars. Good read so far..
