Military Classics Online

If you have not read some of the military classics while in the services because you were busy, here is an opportunity to do so and that too with out leaving your computer desk!

These are the real classics. A military professional who has not read some of these is like a physicist who has not read Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" or a biologist who has not read Darwin's "Theory of Evolution"! It is never too late to catch up on your reading.
