      The Gunny might be next for an autograph hunt. Currently waiting for something to be returned by Dario Argento, and I think that after waiting almost six months Inna Korobkina stole a DVD case from me. :)

              Absolutely! Just finished it in fact.

              Check out my review in the History Forum

              http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/showthread.php?t=9343
              “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

                I just finished Grenadiers. A truly fantastic book about a man who possessed some of the traits that make a truly great officer: courage, intelligence, aggressiveness, skillfulness, determination in the face of impossible odds, and most of all sincere devotion to the men under his command. Here's to Oberführer Kurt "Panzermeyer" Meyer!

                  India in the World Order: Searching for Major-power Status (Contemporary South Asia S.)
                  http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...613424-5197530
                  Two highly regarded scholars come together to examine India's relationship with the world's major powers and its own search for a significant role in the international system. Central to the argument is India's belief that the acquisition of an independent nuclear capability is key to obtaining such status. The book details the major constraints at the international, domestic and perceptual levels that India has faced in this endeavor. It concludes, through a detailed comparison of India's power capabilities, that India is indeed a rising power, but that significant systemic and domestic changes will be necessary before it can achieve its goal. The book examines the prospects and implications of India's integration into the major-power system in the twenty-first century. Given recent developments, the book is extremely timely. Its incisive analysis will be illuminating for students, policy makers, and for anyone wishing to understand the region in greater depth.

                                Insurgency in India's North East by Lt Gen John Mukherjee, PVSM, AVSM, VSM (Retd), Anthem Publisher.

                                He is from the ASSAM Regiment and married to a Mizo lady.

                                The book is very forthright and he says it as it is!


                                "Some have learnt many Tricks of sly Evasion, Instead of Truth they use Equivocation, And eke it out with mental Reservation, Which is to good Men an Abomination."

                                I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.
