The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Soldier X by Don Wulffson, my kid got it at his middle school Scholastic book fair. Well-written, and just the right length and detail for this audience. I enjoyed it too. Tells some hard truths about modern(ish) warfare. Includes a good sprinkling of German and Russian, plus mentions of Mausers and Simonovas. Worth finding for your tween or teen, IMHO.

The suggestion being that we have a short attention span? That may be true for one or two of us...

LOL! I meant the target audience, but...

Does that mean you are volunteering for evaluation? Just asking that's all. Bill

How cool -- both copies. I had no idea it's been around a while. Of course, I didn't look at the copyight date either. Duh!

What ? I'm almost surprised that in todays pussified world that schools would allow a book with guns in it, even if it is important historically.

Thanks for the recommendation, I ordered it for my younger boy.

Yesterday he brought home one called "Sniper" about a Russian trained by Zaytsev. He got that in the public school library, so no issues with the content locally it seems.
