Blackfive revealed! ... and, his book is out!
Contributed by Bill Faith

Matthew Currier Burden. It even says so on his sidebar now.  If there was any announcement on his site when he unmasked I wasn't paying attention, nor did I see any announcement when the book became available. Fortunately Ed Morrissey clued me in.

The Blackfive book we've been waiting months for. Buy it! Now!

People, I'm so broke right now I can't even pay attention but the first thing I'm going to do as soon as I publish this post is to order a copy of Matt's book. This is the project he's been working on for the last several months, collecting the best of the best; the best posts from the best of the MilBlogs.  I'll update this post with a detailed review as soon as my copy gets here and I have time to read it -- You'll know I got my copy when I go two or three days without posting. Do an old dog a favor and use the link above to buy your copy.

Just received my email confirmation from Amazon that my order is being processed.

Gotta shout out a big THANK YOU to Laurie at Soldiers' Angels NY. Not only did she take pity and leave money in my tip jar to cover the cost of my copy of the book, the Amazon link in her post is coded so Old War Dogs gets a commission on any copies her post sells. A true Angel.

Just got a confirmation for my order also Bill and thanks for the heads up on that one. Thanks to OWD I've got several months of reading ahead of me, but that's a good thing, it keeps me away from the computers and it'll give me something to do if I'm not busy at work. The list of required reading I've gotten from Rurik alone would take several years, so please understand if you get the hour glass icon at my end.

And my order is also confirmed. done through our link.
JB, On this reading thing, I'm leading by example. Right now, I've got about two dozen recently arrived books demanding my attention.
Or maybe make that "Falling behind" by example.
