(In passing) Now, I never would have thought to focus on *Glory Road* as an interesting Heinlein novel, but the focus produces unexpected dividends. Thinking it over, I suspect it's as near to self-revelation as Heinlein ever came.
I am surprised in your survey you did not mention the Pratt and de Camp Harold Shea stories, which are the archetype of this sort of rationalist magic story.
