Finished this. Diary of a Confederate soldier during the invasion of New Mexico and Arizona during the Civil War. Interesting at times on a little known campaign but a little tedious. The copious footnotes supply factual information on what the author is writing about, but they destroy the flow of the narrative. It’s funny his complaints are those universal gripes of soldiers: food, lack of equipment and incompetent leaders. Recommended for hard core Civil War buffs.

I finished “Between Two Fires” and am now halfway through “No Country For Old Men”, one of a 3 pack from McCarthy.

Just started reading Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II by Evan Thomas.
It’s a pretty in depth look at the decisions that lead to the dropping of the atomic bombs. So far it’s been interesting.

I found that the film version of “No Country” was one of those rare cases where it was better than the book.
