Cauldron of Ghosts (Crown of Slaves)
Cauldron of Ghosts (Crown of Slaves)

Review:It felt like two different authors wrote this (perhaps because it was two different authos, but I mean you could really tell where Mr Weber stopped and Mr Flint started), and it really didn't prgress the HH universe very much. If you are keeping up with the HH storyline, you probably need to read this, but certainly, if you have not read anything else in theseries, you don't want to start here. Read more

The Epic Story of the Indian Wars for the American West
The Epic Story of the Indian Wars for the American West

Review:Sweeping history of a relatively short period of time - the history they never taught us in school. The brutality of it all. The inevitability. The miscalculations. The tragedy for Native Americans. Read more

The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 - The Battle for Spain
The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 - The Battle for Spain

Review:This book is an extensive revision of the author's concise 1982 book on the Spanish Civil War. The earlier version was the best short introduction to this difficult topic, notable for its evenhanded judgements and clear writing. This version is considerably improved and significatly longer. It incorporates important scholarship that has emerged in the last 2 decades, for example, the improved accounting of post-war executions carried out by the Franco regime and much better understanding of S...

A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms (P.S.) - American Gun
A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms (P.S.) - American Gun

Review:Really great book. Interesting take on history. Nothing too new or earth shattering but a very conversational take on history. Great supporting stories from Chris Kyle's life that add some color to the book. Love the idea of looking at history from a different angle (great guns rather than great men/women). Read more

Autobiography of One of the Deadliest Special Ops Snipers
Autobiography of One of the Deadliest Special Ops Snipers

Review:Great, quick read - as a follower of Force12, St. Martins, and the SOFREP crew, Irving's book is fun and lives up to his reputation. Don't get this if you're expecting technical / tactical knowledge - while it does encompass some training aspects of the Rangers/SOF, etc., The Reaper is the story of him; how and why Irving became what he is/was.

The Life and Legend of Chris Kyle - American Sniper
The Life and Legend of Chris Kyle - American Sniper

Review:Chris Kyle was a living legend who will continue to be talked about for years to come. Right now with the country in such disarray we need a hero that we can believe in. Chris was such a man. There are many like him still out there trying to protect us. Honor them all. Chris would say and I believe, they are All Heroes. God Bless Him and his family. Read more

The Declassified True Story of the Horse Soldiers

Review:Loved this book, saw the movie and although decent movie, as usual, the book was far superior. A great rundown on how the Army Special Forces soldiers undertook an extremely difficult, to say the least, mission. RECOMMENDED! Read more

Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills
Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills

Review:Charles Henderson must have had a difficult time weeding through years of information ,stories and documented deeds. The author presented the story in a technical but interesting way. Carlos was always a good man and an exceptional Marine. This book is an excellent biography and just a great story Read more

Twin Tragedies at Fairchild Air Force Base - Warnings Unheeded
Twin Tragedies at Fairchild Air Force Base - Warnings Unheeded

Review:It is surprising that a book about which you already know the outcome can still be so intriguing, but Warnings Unheeded is extremely so. The book was well written, highly detailed and extremely thoroughly researched. He brings to life stories that I had read about in the past, but never felt from the victim's point of view. I cannot imagine just how the author was able to organize all the different angles from so many that were affected, but he succeeded in doing so. I hope that the lessons wit... Read more
