I would encourage you to keep with it. The books are long and it takes quite an investment to stick with them but I feel so much more aware of not only that war but also of current events. Such as, why is Benghazi, Gibraltar and most of Northern Africa so important. If anyone has wondered why Greenland is of interest to Trump the answer is within the pages of these books.

I'm finishing up "Doomsday Reef" by Matt Bracken right now. (last of a 3-part series)
(He's a really decent writer, for an Ex-Navy Seal)
I'm a motorboat Captain, so I don't find his in-depth discussion of sailing too annoying.
His "Enemies" series from several year's ago was almost prophetic.
Next on the list is "The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation," by Victor Davis Hanson.
Then it's "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell, even though I've already seen the movie (because my daughter gave it to me for my birthday).
I will probably be back to Africa after that.

Just finished Horned Death by John F Burger. I very much liked the book and I just ordered a few of his other books. I started reading The Elephant Hunters of The Lado by Robert Foran last night.

I have read both those books and liked them both very much.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
