2.The Good SoldiersThe Good Soldiers
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $14.80

Customer Review:
David Finkel's depiction of everyday life for U.S. soldiers in Iraq is as strong a deterrent for war as anything I've read. In his own way Finkel is a war hero. And a peace activist. Simultaneously. By risking his life to spend eight months in an Iraq war zone he is able to show us in vivid... more info

3.Blackwater: The Rise of the World s Most Powerful mercenary ArmyBlackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful mercenary Army
from Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Price: $54.15

Customer Review:
The only reason one can call this a book is for the format of it. This is a patchwork of quotes from newspapers, interviews and TV talks. I did not expect a book written by a young a journalist to be of much valor, but I expected to be nonbiased. It is not. From the first half page of the book I... more info

4.My Father s Paradise: A Son s Search for His Jewish Past in Kurdish IraqMy Father's Paradise: A Son's Search for His Jewish Past in Kurdish Iraq
from Algonquin Books
Price: $4.79

Customer Review:
This book amazed me from cover to cover, and I became sad toward the end as I knew I would run out of pages to savor.
Sabar's writing is tight, from the journalism background no doubt, but his subject is broad. He chronicles a people, a poor minority of a minority the Kurdish Jews, and a... more info

from Vintage
Price: $6.70

Customer Review:
I really hadn't heard too much of Dexter Filkins, New York Times correspondent, previous to reading his book, "The Forever War." The book won a "New York Times Book Review" Best Book of the Year award for 2009 which seems to be like a sister calling another sister awesome and voting her prom queen... more info

from Penguin Press HC, The
Price: $7.61

Customer Review:
I found this memoir well-written, engaging, and honest. I felt like I came away with a glimpse of what our soldiers experience in their training, and in their deployments. I got a sense of the deep commitments they carry toward each other. He illustrated beautifully that physical and intellectual... more info

from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $10.80

Customer Review:
This is a great book from a former marine who was involved in multiple tough firefights in Iraq in 2004. This book follows in a long tradition of first person war memoirs, a genre that has been flourishing in the last eight years. This is a great book for those looking for the ground level view of... more info

9.One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine OfficerOne Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer
from Mariner Books
Price: $2.28

Customer Review:
One Bullet Away is perhaps the most detailed and complete record of a combat tour in Iraq that I have yet read. Fick must have kept daily notes or a diary. In fact the accumulation of day to day details becomes a bit repetitious and almost tedious at times. Lt Fick's dedication to his trade and... more info

from Penguin Press HC, The
Price: $13.52

Customer Review:
I don't want to take away from the impressive amount of work that had to have gone into this book, but reading The Gamble right on the heels of Fiasco, it kind of felt like the former was a hastily thrown together sequel.
First and foremost, the copy editing was terrible. There were typos... more info
