Remember a couple months ago when some user posted a thread titled "Library of Alexandria?"
Well I'm trying to get that started up again. I've developed a how-to guide for making your own collection to share and for downloading and reading items from the collections. Which I will Share below, along with a couple of collections. My hope is that some enterprising historian/librarians will create their own collections of stuff that interests them and share them with us.
I am very excited to start reading these military books. What ones would you recommend OP?
Adam Williams
To be honest, there are literarlly so many I can't even begin to recommend some. If you go into the subfolder called Osprey, you will find a fairly short book on almost every military unit and/or topic you could possibly think of. I read War Elephants, Navy SEALS, English Longbowmen, Napolean's Navy, Napolean's Artillery and that is probably less than 1%. I also read a few of the books on medieval warfare and those were really cool. My recommendation is to dive in and see what you can find in there since there is literally so much.
Here is a link to another collection of war books which is largely redundant but you might find the organization easier to understand.
For those of you looking for a very interesting and somewhat short read, I would highly recommend Dougal Dixon's Classic work of speculative anthropology "Man After Man" which tells the story of how humans might evolve hundreds, thousands and even millions of years in the future. This book examines both genetic engineering and naturals selection. In the same vein, Dixon's "After Man" examines how modern animals might evolve after a human extinction event.
Both of these books are extremely interesting and neither are oppressively lengthy. I can't post the links here because I'm to retarded to get around the spam filters, but if you look at the .txt behind this link you'll find the two links. You can also google Sivatherium which is the online library that has them, its in fucking Russian though.
Fun Tip, Man After Man is the origin of pic related.

Are there many epub or mobi amongst these collections? I'm mostly after epubs of compendiums of ancient texts.

>mega.nz Its a shame that Osprey is so heavily focused on WW2. Its understandable, but some of their general [older ]history publications are top tier (have read Pavia and breitenfield recently and was looking for other major battles in that period by them)
>Military Books: Same here. Though the general books on global strategy at the beginning look interesting.-

Different user, subbed to Revolutions and In Our Time.
Good looking out.

Every time I see a picture of a beautiful library, I can understand why someone wanted to see the Library at Alexandria burned.
