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
Review:As a participant at the Trinity test, I find the "The Manhattan Project" is a fascinating read.

It also has contributions from a few gifted writers who have reseached to subject. Read more
