Thanks RA! I'll Keep those books in mind.

Take those with a grain of salt...I've picked them both up at one time or another, but always put them back on the shelf due to budgetary constraints (yes...even at a used book store!). But they're the only two that come to mind regarding the Ghost War...and considering the hazyness of my mind, that's actually pretty good!
