What books would you like published?

[Carlton Bach]

The 'real everyday life' is not really my sphere. I perhaps should have been clearer that I adhere to what I like to call Just War Theory - no sociology, no cultural studies - just war! But seriously, it is really just military history - for now at least.

Just military histopry or just war? Because the life of the military and its peacetime duties are very interesting in themselves. I, for one, am still waiting for a book on low-level warfare and law enforcement in the Roman Empire.

Books aimed specifically at reenactors might be worth thinking about - but how many of you are there? For that matter, how many members does RAT have? Anybody know? I know there have been some general ones over the years, such as Living History but I think that was way too broad. You'd also want lots of colour pics wouldn't you which are expensive to reproduce of course. Hmmm, food for thought.

I don't think aiming books solely at reenactors will work, but stuff like what Tempus in Britain and Philipp von Zabern in Germany do should have a fairly broad market appeal. Books on a fairly specific topic, looked into in detail, with plenty of illustrations and tie-ins both with archeology, history, experimental archeology, and reenactment.
