Any good books that describe trench raids in detail? Also /k/ themed /lit/ General thread.
Since this is the /lit/ thread, what are good go to books about improving your shooting that you guys have read?
>>64251744>>64251772Also forgot to mention, read storm of steel, in one part of the book he even describes how the trenches are formed and what their purpose is.

>>64251806thanks
>>64252276That looks good.Pic related is extremely based and highly recommended. First hand accounts of 18-19 century gentlemen describing the utter brutality of sabre and musket warfare in Europe and the colonies. Theres a memorable part in the Napoleonic war where a vicious warhorse goes on a rampage and bites a man's face off cartel style.https://www.scribd.com/document/594891615/British-Sword-Fighters-1600-1918
Do I feel cringy jumping on the Rhodie bro bandwagon late? Yes, but I have always thought these guys were cool, what are some good books about the bush war that can keep my spastic attention span? Pictures are a plus but written word would be great too.
>>64251772Sorry anon, you need to post your /lit/ thread over on /lit/. You should know better than to post it here, it's not about weapons after all.Remember lads,>Recent eventsNot allowed, /pol/.>Historical eventsNot allowed, /his/>Books about the militaryYou absolute fool, this is /k/! You think you can post about the military here? Fuck off to /lit/, I'm sure they'll know all about military things.>Military vehicles?/o/Aircraft?Also /o/Can we please officially get /k/ changed to Weapons and Warfare already? Am I seriously expected to go trawling through the designated shitting board that is /pol/ to keep up on current events in a WAR? You know, that thing that 95% of all WEAPONS are made for, and what almost all relevant discussion on their use is used for?
It's unfortunate that "One Year on the High Plateau" is structured as a documentary-style novel, but you can still get a sense of the stagnant trench warfare.

>>64251744Should I write a /k/ novel?If I do, what should it be about?What would you like to read about?
>>64253434Having just read a bunch of whaling and books about seamanship, escalating that 1:1 to outer space would be cool. A U-boat space crew crippled and adrift for years would be kino.
>>64253447iow, Honor Harrington?

>>64251744thoughts on andy mcnab? saw a battlefield 3 book authored by him at a local store and thought that was odd to see
>/klit/HehJokes aside, I'm listening to Brigador audiobooks and they're basically /k/ porn.
It is the dumbest war pulp.Everyone is constantly tired and hungry.Weird tech ritualism made religious.Chew and smoke.Dry protein bar.Chemically purified water.Weeks old clothes. You know the smell.Traitors are more than screaming retards. Very rare for 40kNot realistic. Run on the wall, pull the grenade pin with the teeth, get shot like you would.Pocket nuke.
>>64253882>thoughts on andy mcnab?I've read all his books.Remote Control is diamond. Just an excellently-written action novel all around. To this day it holds up for me.Last Light and Liberation Day are pretty good as a kind of duology.I've found his other books a bit lame and repetitive. He ran out of ideas but still tried to milk the old formula. I also caught him self-plagiarising in a later novel by reusing the exact same sentence as his earlier novels. He probably thought "what are the chances somebody's actually read all of these, over two decades of fiction"
>>64251744Not a real trench raid, but here's an account from the US Army Air Service during WW1 on a mission to recover a new prototype German plane that had crashed in no-man's land that quickly goes tits up.
>>64251780tecnically first post best post.anon no other author than ernst junger provides a detailed description of trench warfare, really, just read storm of steel and then try reading authors you like anyway regarding ww1. remarque a bitch btw.
Poilu is a good companion to Storm of Steel
This is kino. Cant go wrong with Clavell.
>>64251772>books about improving your shootingdo you feel some contrarian urge to not watch videos on how to shoot better? maybe you're too lazy to actually go to the range or film yourself shooting so you can identify things you're doing wrong.

>>64257538Relax pal, I prefer reading text and not having to watch shilltubers with dozens of ads for SDI and Hornady every minute.
