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.

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.

Rumi The Book Of Love. A collection of poems by Rumi, that oddly enough I bought at the same time as Mail Call the book.
