The non-fiction book sounds awesome.

Taking a conflict as intense and enormous as World War II and putting it into the context of an individual soldier really makes the subject matter accessible (re: Stephen Ambrose and Shelby Foote). I love reading stuff like that, personally.

Yeah but what will be different from me and Ambrose will be that I'll actually take time in researching the stuff, not kind of researching it..

To the end reader, what matters is the ability for the reader to connect with the subject matter. My example speaks nothing of the accuracy of his writing, but his ability to take a huge conflict and humanize it so that it captured the interest of millions of readers.

I think your book is an amazing idea. I know you'll have fun with the research. Good luck with it, and give us an update every now and then on the progress!

I want to write a book, non fiction. About exactly what I just wrote up above. Michigan military history...

GO FOR IT! :)
