The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt (Modern Library (Paperback))
The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt (Modern Library (Paperback))

Review:Extremely interesting. What an amazing man. Just so you know it ends when he is VP and President McKinley dies and the kindle book is only about 80%. I was surprised but should have realized it's about the Early years and Rise of Theodore. Would recommend and want to read the next book about his presidency. Read more

If You Ask Me: (And of Course You Won't)
If You Ask Me: (And of Course You Won't)

Review:Betty, at her finest! I loved this book specifically because of the number of personal, previously unpublished pictures from Betty's personal life. Having read all of her other books I'd say this is definitely worth the purchase! Read more

The True Story of My Imprisonment in North Korea - Not Forgotten
The True Story of My Imprisonment in North Korea - Not Forgotten

Review:Early on, I could not understand why a seasoned traveler to N. Korea would make such a stupid mistake, and create a national crisis. He cost the US thousands of dollars and possibly created an international crisis. All because he did something stupid. He knew better, and despite his fortitude and unending faith to sustain him, he brought it upon himself. He put his religion ahead of his family, and interestingly, he only gave his wife, Lidya, passing acknowledgement at the end of the book. ... Read more

Review:Tremendous information about the Sultan heritage and history. Exciting storyline. Could not give five stars because of excessive typos which is unnecessary..... wonder if this is just in the Kindle edition? Read more

The Story of U.S. Marine Special Operations in Bala Murghab
The Story of U.S. Marine Special Operations in Bala Murghab

Review:This book was well written and it answered many questions for me. The intimate details of people, places, things, emotions brought me right into the fight as if I were there. As a participant in an unpopular war of the past many of the elements of this book felt very familiar. Rules of engagement and the conduct of senior commanders removed from the actual combat has not progressed lo these many decades. If not for men like these Marines and soldiers we would be in a world of hurt. Every Am... Read more

Living the Code On and Off the Battlefield - The Ranger Way
Living the Code On and Off the Battlefield - The Ranger Way

Review:Excellent book and one that should be read by every American to really understand what these heroes go through to train and protect the freedoms that so many simply take for granted and 'abuse', and to really hear what happened to the innocent Americans that night in Bengahzi. God Bless him and God Bless America! Read more

The Untold Story of Operation Anaconda - Not a Good Day to Die
The Untold Story of Operation Anaconda - Not a Good Day to Die

Review:The takeaway for me was how the Military-Industrial Complex conducted the war in Afghanistan exactly the opposite of what was taught to us at US Army Infantry School, Fort Benning, Georgia. We were always taught that the feet-of-clay of the Soviet style of military command and control was the refusal to delegate authority down to the lowest levels of command; down to where the tactical situation was clearest to the officers, non-coms and troops on the ground in the fray of battle. For multi-star... Read more

William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery
William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery

Review:Well written and informative. A must read for anyone who is interested in how the evil slavery trade was finally brought to light as the evil that is was. Wilberforce was a genius, a Christian, a man who used his position in government for good. Highly recommend! Read more

The Forever War
The Forever War

Review:Gooder. A unique on the ground "I was there" perspective. Never heard anything like this in any news reports either left or right. If you have an interest in how and why things happened in Iraq, this book is invaluable. In fact It is a "goodest". Read more

The Enduring Bond between a Marine and a Navy SEAL that Transcended Their Ultimate Sacrifice
The Enduring Bond between a Marine and a Navy SEAL that Transcended Their Ultimate Sacrifice

Review:Could not put it down. Went into much more detail on Lt. Manion which makes sense, since his father wrote most it. Nonetheless, an unbelievable story of what it means to be a great american, a great friend and great teammate. While most of us will never be called upon to do what these two heroes did, we can all strive to be as good a friend as they were to each other. Read more
