Best of the best Best of the genre and then some: The Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O’Brian. I’m in the middle of my third re-reading and it never gets old.

That's some of my favorite reading too For land based 18-19th Century military series, there’s Alan Mallinson writing about British cavalry -- the hero is the son of a parson and he’s a bit too straight-laced and preachy for my taste but beggars can’t be choosers. He’s probably the type that Flashman hated. There’s also the adventures of US Marine Fenwick Travers at the turn of the 19th Century, advertised as an American Flashman, but I didn’t find the writing even close.It’s by Raymond M.

Saunders. There's also the Markham of the Marines series by Tom Connery. A great adventure writer focusing on Africa is Wilbur Smith.

S novels cover the 16th through 20th C. I do like nautical stories especially -- Check out Patrick O’Brian -- he’s been called one of the leading fiction writes of the 20th Century -- and his Aubrey/Maturin novels. Also Dewey Lambdin has a irreverent hero by the name of Alan Lewrie - he’s got more of the scoundrel in him, like Flashman.

A relatively new series by Julian Stockwin, the Kydd novels, has my interest. It’s hero came up from the lower deck to command. For straight up nautical fiction, there’s also CS Forester, Dudley Pope and Alexander Kent.

Recently I’ve picked up Jay Worrell, who’s hero is a Colonial privateer during the Revolutionary War; also James L. Nelson.

The Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian set the standard This twenty volume series of novels are the basis for the movie, Master and Commander. Essentially, a 5500 page novel, it's considered by many to be one of the best books of the 20th century. It's a more complex and challenging read than Bernard Cornwell's novels but so much fun and engaging that your challenge will be to come up for air every once in a while..

Horatio Although it is a shift from the infantry, the Horatio Hornblower series is similar to Sharpe's rifles. It is a series of novels that follows the career of a 19th century British sailor who gradual works his way through the ranks. The novels, as a whole, are a good blend of character development, action, and historical fiction.

Another interesting novel in the same genre--though not a series--is The Four Feathers. You may have seen the recent movie; however, the novel and older movie versions are all engaging.

It is the classic series in this genre, with good reason. They are masterfully written, and scrupulously accurate in detail. Horneblower is very real.

We are privy to his doubts about himself and his failings from his first entrance (where he gets sea-sick on his ride through the harbor to his first ship) to the last (a short-story in which he misunderstands Napoleon the Third, believing him to be a madman claiming to be the dead Napoleon Bonaparte), not to mention his weakness for women that compels him to make a few poor choices. But we are also privy to his greatness, from his genius for outmaneuvering the enemy, to his abiding friendships for those who have served with him. Truly wonderful stuff.

Any books in the fiction genre that deals with infantalism.

I was informed that there are books (novels) out there that are good for those learning S.A.T words...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
