Hi all,
Jasper has gathered a small group of us to invigorate the RAT book club. Our first pick is "For the Glory of Rome: A History of Warriors and Warfare," by Ross Cowan. This will be a nice starting book partly because it's new to everyone here (except Ross, of course). I'm sure alot of RAT folk have already set their eyes on it. It's in stock over in England, but Amazon.com (USA) says it won't be available until early June. So, we'll hold back on picking a discussion date until we're sure it's available.
If you're looking to borrow the book from your library don't forget about interlibrary loan. Your local branch will can make request for you outside your area. See World Cat: http://worldcat.org/ to find libraries in your area that have it in their holdings. In this instance the book is new, so it will probably be hard to find in libraries for a while.
