How can military history through the ages change our understanding of past and future

wars?

Our new military history colonist, Tom Ricks, rounds up the latest in military history.

Yeah, I think the overall takeaway when I look at these is how much work military operations

are and that might be the key to what phases put Donald Trump.

And what are the best children's books out now?

Our children's books at Anomaria, Rousseau will be here to talk about our biggest roundup

of children's books for the season.

And I think a lot of kids are visual and our visual learners and visual readers and

appreciate that.

And I think especially when it's these non-fiction topics, it's a really great way to learn.

We'll also talk literary news and what we and other people are reading.

This is Inside the New York Times Booker View.

I'm Pamela Paul.

Tom Ricks joins us now.

He is our new military history colonist who's written five books about the American Armed

Forces with one on the way about Churchill and Orwell.

And this week reviews like a battalion of books.

I have 11 books in front of me that he's reviewed in this issue.

So Tom, thanks so much for being here.

You're welcome.

And for making your way through all of these books.
