from Riverhead Trade
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
I recently started a book club and this was our first pick. It could not have been a better choice. Everyone had it read in plenty of time. No complaints on the choice I made either. This book tells a very emotionally charged story. Once I started reading it, I was constantly stealing time to read,... more info

4.Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.87

Customer Review:
This book would have been a good article in a magazine but not a book. Mostly it is about SEAL training and the background of the author( heavily ghost written). Not to take anything away from the accounts of the men, but this just isn't substance for a book.

Customer Review:
I enjoyed this book from one of my favorite authors. The book covers a lot of historical events. The author has high credibility, and I couldn't put the book down. Some of the material is fragmented, but it was still very interesting.
I'd highly recommend this one.

Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
I recommend this book, in spite of its flaws, because it is a very useful history of CIA involvement in Afghanistan, from the end of the Carter administration until the day before the 9/11 attacks.
The book is divided into three parts, focusing on the Soviet occupation and mujahideen... more info

Steve Coll's THE BIN LADENS receives Erik Singer's smooth voice and Broadway experience as it tells of the rise of the Bin Laden family and the oil fortune which earned them a place in not just the Middle East, but in Western history as well.

from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I highly recommend this book. Some may say that Rodrigues gave herself too much credit for what others have done. But I have to admit, that I for one would never go to Kabul. So regardless of how much she did, or did not achieve, she was there, and we weren't. To be a woman in a repressive society... more info
