I've been reading D M Giangreco's Hell to Pay, about Allied and Japanese plans for Operation: Downfall. Does anyone know how well regarded it is?

Cessna posted:This accurately describes his book Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy. I mostly enjoyed that book, except I felt his constant harping on Viet Kong atrocities was weird and he didn't spend much time on American ones.

quick question: I heard soldiers in the American army during WWII would often have armaments that differed from the standard TO&E, primarily from scavenging battlefields and under the table requisitioning. For example, extra BARs per squad and the like. Is this true?

I know we all hate counterfactuals here, but what does it look like if instead of a B-29 campaign from china, the allies instead use their logistical piepline to supply arms to the KMT?

Here's a milhist question: Was Sarumans plan at Helm's Deep flawed? It seemed to almost work, before Gandalf showed up.

I just saw Anthony Beevor has a book on the Russian Civil War. Is it any good? I like the rest of his work.

Cyrano4747 posted:The way the US fought wars in the 20th century (and honestly maybe only 1930-onwards) is a massive historical aberration. It's the bougiest of rich kid war. There just wasn't the need to use captured weapons outside of weird, immediate needs of guys in a sticky situation. So you're not going to see a concerted effort to organize and re-issue German rifles and tanks, but I'm also not going to discount some GI grabbing a grenade off a dead German's belt in a pinch. That reminds me of the 83rd Infantry Division https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/rag-tag-circus-stole-vehicles/
