From: Tom Markson <usblues!tom@Sun.COM>
I mailed a letter asking for the sources of military books list to Saundra 
Wallfesh and asked for books that would be a good start for someone who is 
ignorant of military operations/strategy.  It was suggested that I post the 
request to sci.military.  So, here it is:

I am looking for books which would teach someone with virtually no military
backround the basics of strategy, logistics, etc.

Saundra recommended the following titles:

	James Dunnigan's How to Make War
	Trevor Dupuy's   Evolution of Weapons and Warfare
			 Understanding War: History and Theory of Combat

Are there other titles that you can recomend?  Has anyone been in my 
situation and found that a couple of titles made all the difference in
the world?

Please mail me any/all responses (ingres.com!usblues!tom) and I will
post a summary.

Thanks 1 million in advance,
