The James Mace Reading List

It's been requested I compile a reading list of all my works. And since some get written out of sequence, or a stand-alone gets wedged in the middle, or I had to insert one series between volumes of another (i.e. The Great Jewish Revolt and Year of the Four Emperors), below are listed all my works chronologically. Think of it as reading one giant history. Links are included for each book's Amazon page, though you can find them in multiple formats, including audio.

*Note: I will update this page with every new release.

The Average Combat Soldier's Age - An Uncomfortable Truth

Image
Wars are fought by kids. We'll let that sink in for a moment. In every recorded conflict, at least from the Napoleonic Wars, when detailed records of armies began being kept en masse, to today, soldiers serving in combat have averaged around twenty-two years of age. Our brains are not fully mature until we reach twenty-five, yet nations send their young off to war, with many still in their late teens. This is an uncomfortable truth society still struggles with, and in many ways has remained oblivious to for decades, due in no small part to the film industry.  Thanks to war films, mostly from the 1950s and 60s, there has been an ongoing misconception about the age of soldiers in war. Watch any war flick prior to 2001's Black Hawk Down , and every soldier, even the low-ranking privates, are depicted as mature men in their thirties and even forties. Occasionally, you would see a young "newbie" in his late teens to early twenties, but these were always the exception. In r

A Brief History of the Dumbbell

Pumping Iron, pounding steel, lifting heavy things and then putting them down, whatever you call it, I love weight lifting. Road cycling is my preferred form of cardio, but there is just something so satisfying about chasing "the pump". While machines and bars are fantastic, I do prefer using dumbbells for the majority of working out.

Thankfully, I already had a strong foundation from years of training. Plus, have you ever seen the legs on most cyclists? 'Ridiculous' is a term I've heard used more than once. But where did dumbbells come from? Moreover, why the a silly name? It sounds like a term of derision used on the childhood playground. To answer
