HoustonSaint68, have you read any of the "Flashman" books? Historically accurate fiction with the same character popping up. The WWI book is entertaining, But Flashman and the Seawolf is based on the Exploits of Thomas Cochrane. Very entertaining also.

No, but thanks again for the different steer. There was a time that I started with the Shaara Civil War books and really liked those so I moved on to the Turtledove books. After a few of those though I lost the taste for the alternate history stuff.

I like the sound of trying the "historically accurate" Flashman stuff. I've always had to be very picky about what I chose to read because of limited time but I am retiring at the end of the year so I'll be ready to take on all comers -- thanks again!
