More book purchases: Suskind's "One Percent Doctrine"; Gordon and Trainor's "Cobra II"; and Hopkirk's "The Great Game".
The first two probably need no introduction; the third is the story of the low-level Russian-British conflict over the Caucasus and Southwest Asia in the late 19th century. Why am I interested in that? Probably because the Khyber Pass has always sounded very intriguing to me. Also because it seems that we're re-living parts of that history right now.
