Post your latest Veeky Forums pick ups

This is what I am currently reading.
I don't have any recent purchases as my backlog right now has around 20 or so books (the others are geared towards Veeky Forums.)

This is my current backlog. I've posted this around Veeky Forums before. I'm working on it, rather slowly.

next up is either Forgotten Soldier or Battle for Belorussia

Was thinking of picking up Battle for Belorussia, didn't realize it was that THICC

oh my sweet chiled

I bought that book at an airport and it made me a temporary Byzboo

Recently read a book on Sparta, the Winter War and Sun and Steel, but the last one is more /fitlit/ than Veeky Forums. Currently reading an old (10-20 years) book on the first civilizations though.

giv napoleon book

Is this any good? As a Greek it seems interesting.

MY Friend don't you realise BEING A BYZABOO is being right ? Byzantium is the best empire to have ever existence and no one can tell me otherwise.

It covers the entire wars from 1828-1921. It's written in that dry writing style, but it does suck you in. The large majority of the book deals with the World War One Front and covers a little bit after what happens after Nov. 1917 and the Sovietization of Transcacasia. I should warn you though, the book is expensive, my copy was 65USD.

Kill yourself retarded Byzaboo subhuman

Last one I bought is this. Great stuff, Le Goff is pretty much the OG of the modern (francophone) study of the Middle Ages.

Going all out on Late Antiquity. Getting the first two of pic related for Christmas, and saving up for the third.

Looking forward to finish it before the exam period. Some recomendations to follow up?

$12 thrift

That's the Flag of Minsk.

>Smith, The World's Religions
That's a pretty good score, user. Very well known book and author, it's pretty much considered a must-read for anyone studying comparative religion.

>Pritchard ANE
Mah nigga

Dont worry I was in your shoes once, enjoy it whilst it lasts.

Shut up kike, maybe your kin should work harder to be less transparent.

>GUYS I SWEAR THE LATE ROMANS USED THIS COMPLEX SYSTEM OF BORDER DEFENCE BASED ON TIERS OF MANPOWER AND EXPERIENCE

What did Luttwak mean by this?

Recently read this guy's book on the 30 Years War as well, was pretty good.

about halfway through it, fascinating man really

Is there any value in reading anything other than original sources (aside from convenience)? It’s much cheaper (since they’re generally available as free PDFs online) and the texts are more detailed than any summary or analysis would be.

The average person isn't equipped to historiographically analyse primary sources.

Look at Vegetius' De Re Militari. Most of it is incorrect, Vegetius wasn't a historian and he had never been in the military, but if you just read it by itself you'd never know that.

This seems like the only good thread to post this and i dont want to make a new one just for this
