I finished Compton's book tonight. WOW!
Held my interested for many reasons:
--I'm interested in WWII history.
--Interested to hear his side of Band of Brothers.
--LOVE his views on what America should be.
--As JJB says: "amazing what all he did after he left the service". Amen to that!
I was especially interested in his law enforcement career (for obvious reasons)
--the Sirhan Sirhan case was especially fascinating to see from an insider's view.
--....and he reminded me of my dad!¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!

Compton could have written a book about:
-Time in the service
-Time as a cop
-Time as a lawyer
-Time as a judge
And he was all of those things, pretty crazy!

Since I checked the book out from the library, I guess I missed that. So, nope. No joining for Bel-Cam. Originally Posted by DarkArtist

I have to say. I'm really enjoying Death Troopers. the book is really good. I'm about 100 pages away from finishing it and looking forward to finding ouot how it ends. might get the subscription for the Star Wars Galaxies series and see how the entire story-arc plays out
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
