Moment of Truth in Iraq: How a New 'Greatest Generation' of American Soldiers is Turning Defeat and Disaster into Victory and Hope
from Richard Vigilante Books
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:

I got turned on to this book by Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds, [...]-- who often links to Michael Yon. MY review is choppy, but the book is not. I'm just shepherding a couple of children and it's tough to get my thoughts together. In contrast, Yon's writing in Moment of Truth is very lucid. Don't... more info

Final Salute: A Story of Unfinished Lives
from Penguin Press HC, The
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:

I remember reading about Woodrow Wilson's agony, as he prepared to address Congress, to ask for the US to enter WWI. All he could think of were the boys who would be killed or maimed as a result of his words. Witnesses said his face was actually contorted, perhaps a harbinger of the stroke he would... more info

Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army

Price: $17.79

Customer Review:

Before reading this one should understand Scahill's perspective on all issues is from the left...the very far left.

Customer Review:

I actually bought this book some months back but I kept putting off picking it up because I assumed this would be a dense work filled with military jargon and more acronyms than one could shake a stick at.

So Wrong for So Long: How the Press, the Pundits--and the President--Failed on Iraq
from Union Square Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

Greg Mitchell is a talented writer, but even if not he should be listened to closely. He is one of those (like Barack Obama) who has proven to have been right early, and right often, about some of the most serious events of our recent past.
But though, as I say, Mr. Mitchell has been proved... more info

Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

Tom Ricks' "Fiasco" is a superb history of the first three years of U.S. military engagement in Iraq, chronicling in detail the years 2003-2006. Though the events in the book seem a little dated at this point, reading about them now in the Spring of 2008, one can see how mistakes made early on... more info
