I think Sven Hassel was one of my most prolific reads back in my late teens, early twenties - loved them!

The Legion of the Damned
Blitzfreeze
Wheels of Terror
Comrades of War
March Battalion
Assignment Gestapo
The *Bluddy* Road to Death
Monte Cassino
Liquidate Paris
Court Martial
SS General
Reign of Hell

I think that was about all of them....

Other than that I read a lot of Patricia Cornwall - excellent writer! Otherwise it was the odd book here and there..

Oh, and 'The Great Betrayal' of course! (Even signed by the Man himself!).

The books that got me back into reading a few years ago was a trilogy by Tom Rob Smith: - Child 44, The Secret Speech and Agent 6. Absolutely epic reads, most enjoyable novels I ever read. I then read all the Girl with the dragon Tattoo series which was quite good and I recommend Manhunter by Jo Nesbo as well.

The other books I really like are the Logan McCrae series by Stuart McBride

Yip, that is an incredible book. On a similar thread I have just read. (Poetic verse unintentional) Nimrod, Rise and Fall. An incredible aircraft often misunderstood and this book demonstrates the utter folly of scrapping it. If you read this it will make your blood boil! Politicians

For instance...a Nimrod on station circling Piper Alpha for hours co ordinate the rescue. ( incidentally I know one of the crew and was engaged to a young WAF engineer who waved it off- alas she subsequently waved me off! ) Now... Nothing to do it! Would have to do it from shore.

Vulcan 607 could not have worked without the Nimrod. They did the vectoring in for refuelling. Not widely known and still secret when book was written I think.
Again.....

I recommend you get a copy of this. Great read
