Notes -
My books of the year (read, not published) short list:
Wanderer, Sterling Hayden. Last days of the tall ships, Hollywood, OSS partisan shenanigans in Yugoslavia, sailing to Tahiti with the kids in a custody dispute.
We Will Never Be Here Again, Svein Tuft, yeah, it's a sports book, but Svein's a pretty interesting guy.
In Search of the Forty Days Road, Michael Asher. Burnt-out ex-SAS man retraces historic camel trading routes in Sudan. Scenes of buying his first camel and a sword straight out of D&D.
Once an Eagle, Anton Myrer. Sprawling and overlong but it gets going pretty good eventually. Supposedly very influential in the US officer corps.
