Double thumbs up for acoup.blog - it's what I fall back to reading if HN doesn't have anything interesting.

His work is also really well sourced, so it's a great jumping off point if you are looking for more work on the subject.

His sparta series, and the fremen series are absolutely outstanding.

That’s why I love his blog. His reading recommendations are almost all very approachable to non-historians and are always fascinating, especially the books that look at the nitty gritty details of warfare.

I just read Waging War by Wayne E. Lee based off of his recommendation from his logistics/command collections and it’s been a great read start to finish about innovation in warfare (in the broadest sense).
