        Books, fiction

        1. Book of the Dead Vol I and II by Skipp & Spector. Horror short stories, but if you liked the post-holocaust elements in Dawn of the Dead you'll find the same thing in many of these stories. Not for everyone.
        2. Starman's Son, Andre Norton
        3. Three "men's action novels" series, The Survivalist, The Guardians and The Traveler, are typical of their breed (that is, simply awful) but if you can make your way through them you can pick up on some interesting ideas to use in your MP games. Not for everyone!
        4. Red Storm Rising, Tom Clancy.
        5. The Third World War: August 1985, General Sir John Hackett
        6. The Third World War: The Untold Story, General Sir John Hackett

        Magazine articles, etc.

          Man Magnifier- the Ultimate Paratrooper, Design News 4/22/91. Great HAAM-like material.

          Too many other magazine articles to list!!!!

        Manuals

          Click here for the (lengthy) military manual bibliography. There is some duplication with the listings in TM 1-1 but editing out the duplicates between my list and theirs seemed like a waste of time. This list isn't complete but it's pretty close. I'll add non-military manuals sometime, like ones from FEMA, etc.
