At the swapmeet about a mile from my house theres this lady that sells books and she always has craploads of all sorts of military books. Where I get my fill.

At gun shows there are always people selling books, you'll be able to find a lot there. I'm sure they got those in Kentucky right?

Well if you want a real great book on the best way to attack using tanks and other mobile artillery definitely check out the book Erwin Rommel wrote during WWII. Not sure of the exact title but many people interested in tactics dealing with tanks, etc. recommend it. Or even check out a book from MacArthur or Patton. Just goto a nearby Barnes and Noble or Walden Books.

for equipment I'd go for Jane's. (http://catalog.janes.com/catalog/pub..._category_id=1) They know (and print) things that the US gouverment still considers secret.

Its strange...but one of the most informative sites that doesnt cost anything (yet) is the Federation of American Scientists FAS

WWW.fas.org

These guys have an extensive database on just about all modern weapon systems the US has. Enjoy

Didn't mean he should buy, a library is supposed to have them to.
