Currently listening to The Story of WWII but hoping to get into a revolutionary war book next​

If you like WW II stuff, Will Shirer’s Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is very good. As is his Berlin Diaries. As a correspondent from Germany he kind of kept dual books on what he was seeing due to Nazi censorship. Like War and Peace, they are books that a lot of people know of but have never read. They are all with reading.

I heard about No Surrender: My Thirty Year War, by Hiroo Onoda, on Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast (holy shit that podcast is a treasure; anyone who's into history should look into it).

Anyway, this Hiroo Onoda, was one of the last Japanese WWII soldier to surrender, in 1974!!

Just about to start this book. Really want to understand the fanaticism and belief and self-sacrifice it must have taken to continue waging a war nearly 20 years after its conclusion. I'm sure there is something to be learned there.

Is this the guy who was on some island and lived in the bush or something? I remember my dad telling me a similar story - maybe same guy?

Could be. There are many instances of Japanese hold outs, he just happened to be one of the last (there was another arrested in 1975).

Edited my earlier post: he apparently wasn't the last, but I believe the 2nd last.

I’ve finished Arctic dreams and labyrinth of ice in the past month. The latter was incredible. My lady gifted me captain brainards journal from the same expedition, the bushcraft 101 box set, and the way we Genuinely live (yupik indigenous survival book) very excited to break them open.

I picked up listening to Your Mountain a few months ago. I’d recommend to anyone interested in policy related to hunting.
