Book Review: We Are All War Nerds Now….

September 10th, 2008 by zen

Of all the book reviews I have done at Zenpundit, this one will be the shortest.

Prodded to read War Nerd by co-blogger Lexington Green, I found Gary Brecher’s writing is a weird fusion of Robert Young Pelton crossbred with Dave Barry, yielding some sort of one-man, Mad Magazine of modern warfare but without the cartoons by Don Martin and Sergio Aragones. Beneath Brecher’s crafted shtick, however, lies a genuine grasp of military history and an analytical shrewdness with which I found myself nodding in agreement all too frequently.

Buy this book.

    I have read Brecher’s stuff on Exiled Online for a while, but I haven’t picked up the book yet. Will definitely look for it on the weekend.

    The book is fun to read.  He’s not a bad writer and generally spots trends well.
