Williams also authored 'Lincoln and His Generals' which is another great read...IMO.

I thought his novel 'Huey Long' was also excellent...it makes a nice bookend with Robert Penn Warren's 'All The Kings Men'.

Where are writers of that calibre these days?

Tony, you might wanna give a peek at a book by James Arnold about America's longest war, - Road Warrior 11:04:35 10/20/11 (1)
"The Moro War"
A nice tome about our battle against a Moslem insurgency in the Phillipines from 1902-1913. Well written but lacks the drama of the best historical novels. It does, however, obliterate some of the myths surrounding how Captain Pershing dealt with the Moslems. Obviously the story, if not exactly the tactics used, are relevant today.

- I've read a bit about the US war in the Phillipines but not "The Moro War". - Tony D. 20:15:58 10/21/11 (0)
  I'm going to correct that soon.
  
  Thanks.
