I, for one, will happily buy the revised and updated edition. I own a copy of the 1999 privately published edition. I, too, have a long, long fascination with the Varus battle, having first encountered it in a Roman history I purchased in 1960. I also read Gregory Solon's "The Three Legions" (fiction) in the middle 60's, acquiring a copy of that book through a search service in 1971. I have also read Tacitus, Dio Cassius, Velleius Paterculus, etc. and read some stuff about Pliny the Elder and his history of the German wars.<br>
I hope to get to Kalkriese in the next few years (money being the issue). I would love to go at a time coinciding with a Roman reenactment event in the area (or perhaps at Xanten, then traveling to Kalkriese). I will observe the 2000th anniversary of the battle in some way in 2009. I have the full legionary kit for the Augustan to Claudian era-it being my preferred legionary impression.<br>
If Major Clunn is able to come to the eastern US, Maryland or points north, than I will see if I can make it to meet him.<br>
