Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World
from Crown
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:

Buchanan takes most of the good ideas from Niall Ferguson's "The Pity of War" -- you would be better off to read them in the orginal there rather than Buchanan's cribbing and twisted views. Also, Ferguson's views are highly controversial and shouldn't be taken as consensus views from historians. The... more info

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
from W. W. Norton
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

Great book but it easily could have been reduced to 30 % of it's size. It got so repetitive that I thought I had actually lost my page and wound up at an earlier chapter. This author completely beats his topics to death. Had I known what I was getting into, I would have bought the documentary DVD... more info

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

Customer Review:

I don't care who you are. Don't care if you support the war, or you don't. Don't care if you "support the troops" whatever that might mean (like me!). This book is about the reality of our soldiers not coming back. And the heart-rending, noble efforts of the military to honor them. If you can read... more info

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:

This is probably the most important book written on the Iraq War. Michael Yon does an outstanding job of telling it like it is--no politics, no right or left, no spin, just the facts. He also reports the facts that the mainstream media usually deems unfit to print. Yon is critical about mistakes... more info

Retribution: The Battle for Japan, 1944-45
from Knopf
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:

This is my first Pacific Theatre (in keeping with the author's heritage) non-fiction book and I was totally taken in by Max Hastings' effort. Realizing that this is just a single year of history, the breath covered was remarkable. It was fascinating reading with very little wasted on superfluous... more info

Customer Review:

First and foremost, you should know that this book has a 60 page bibliography. "Blackwater" has to be one of the most well researched books I've read. While theres alot of information being thrown at you, the author does an incredible job making it easy to follow. In terms of vernacular used, the... more info

Customer Review:

I first read this book over a decade after my own combat experiences during the first gulf war, and it was a great help to me.
Now I gift a copy of this book to my buddies as they prepare for their own deployment.
A must read for a citizen-soldier.

Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10

Price: $16.49

Customer Review:

The first 1/2 of the book is pretty much relegated to his upbringing in Texas and then pretty much the gruesome exercise regiment that the men have to go through. Lots of running, push-ups, etc. Over and Over again. Kind of overdone page after page. No real insight into special techniques on... more info
