Really enjoying Tor Bukkvoll's book "Spetsnaz: A History of the Soviet and Russian Special Forces" from the wonderful @univpressofkansas.bsky.social. It's fascinating military history and also intelligence history as, with a brief interruption, the forces in question belonged to intel agencies. 1/2

Many thanks to the Civil War Roundtable of Gettysburg. I had a great time speaking there during last week's meeting held at the Adams County Historical Society at Gettysburg. Great group and great venue - lots of fun.
