The Words that Remade America (Simon & Schuster Lincoln Library)
The Words that Remade America (Simon & Schuster Lincoln Library)

Review:As usual, when Garry Wills takes a closer look, American myths get debunked.

In “Lincolh at Gettysburg” we learn that our most eloquent president did not scratch out his Gettysburg address on an envelope on the train ride to the battlefield but (of course) labored over it for some time. That it was received well at the North and was not disparaged or belittled. That Edward Everett’s centerpiece address, though long, was not windy or tedious and was welcomed also as summation of the confl... Read more

American Rebel: The Life of Clint Eastwood

Review:There was a book published by Ominbus Press in 1977 called Clint Eastwood: All American Anti-HeroClint Eastwood, All-American Anti-Hero: A Critical Appraisal of the World's Top Box Office Star and His Films.

Jack Hinson's One-Man War, A Civil War Sniper

Review:Simply put, I really enjoyed this book. The author had done a ton of research and I was glad he brought this story to life. He was a little heavy on the foreshadowing but I'm willing to forgive him because the story was so fantastic. I also admit, that as a Southern boy it was nice to have the South (during the Civil War) painted in a kinder light than I have been used to reading or seeing. 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.
