Bill,
A while back, Saundra Wallfesh (wallfesh@drcvax.af.mil) posted a list of
sources for military books to sci.military.
I gave a copy of the list to my father, who is interested in military
history. (He's a retired Army Reserve colonel in Military Intelligence.)
Anyways, he came up with these additions. All comments are my father's.
Any typos or misspellings are mine. I have no connection what-so-ever with
any of these outfits, not even as a customer. As far as I know, my father's
only connection is as a satisfied customer and/or catalog recipient.
If you prefer me to send this to Saundra, for inclusion in her list,
just let me know.

Cloak & Dagger Books
9 Eastman Ave.
Bedford, NH 03102 (603) 668-1629
They offer a catalog but it seems to be on a random basis. They
specialize in old & out of print books related to the *non-fiction*
areas of espionage, military intelligence, codes & ciphers,
guerrilla, terrorism, POW escapes, assassination, and counter-
intelligence.
It is as good a source as [my father knows] of for this type of
publication.
Best time to phone is 6-9 PM EST M-F. Week-ends they are out
looking for more books. They have an answering machine.

the cover. [He] didn't pay anything for it.)
