I passed up on the book simply because I just don't have time to do non-work related reading, and it doesn't look like things will get better anytime soon. I have some time to listen to audiobooks, however, and wish there had been a Whispersync deal on this one. Maybe I'll find the audio (cheap) of it one of these days. One of the libraries with which I have borrowing privileges may have it--I need to check. There is a very cheap (though not with the size of the markdown of the one above) ebook showing up in the markdown lists today that I would have liked to have had. Same issue keeping me from grabbing it. It is about these guys who gathered intelligence and operated radios behind enemy lines, on mountains in the jungles (Pacific Theater, of course), during WWII. WWII, and also the Korean War to a lesser extent, are interests of mine. Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 11-29-2016 at 09:14 PM. |

Why not grab the book at this price and save it for when you do have time? I have a ton of books I've bought at great prices and am saving for when I retire.

And pray, what is the title of the book about the "guys who gathered intelligence and operated radios behind enemy lines, on mountains in the jungles (Pacific Theater, of course), during WWII." I'd like to find that.

Given circumstances, my stratagem is to 1) check the libraries and 2) buy in the future. |

Charles River Editors has a handful (maybe as many as 10) of free books that seem not to be repeats. Unfortunately, they are intermixed with repeats.
Here's a link of the ebooks, sorted low to high. The first one, for some reason, is actually not a CRE book (however, it is free, and you might enjoy it--it's a 40-page booklet with a Christmas story by Lyman Frank Baum, of The Wizard of Oz fame). Once you get down the list to the Adam Smith ebook on the Wealth of Nations, then the ebooks cost you money. |

Yes. but if you sort by publication date (may have to "narrow" by clicking on Kindle books on left side), you get about a 85% probability of selecting only new ones the first time. I generally pick the first one I think I have also, just to be sure... |

Thanks LE! Great list.
Dashiell Hammett was stationed in the Aleutian Islands, so I will be extra interested in that one. |
