| 1. |  | A LONG WAY GONE: MEMOIRS OF A BOY SOLDIER from FOURTH ESTATE Customer Review:  Here it is a book about adventure and action, emotion and death. The memoirs of a boy soldier. The war in South Africa took its toll on thousands of people, emotionally and physically. Poverty plagues Ishmael Beah in Along Way Gone. Along Way Gone should be read by adults only. The book uses... |

| 2. |  | The Art Of War from Filiquarian Price: $3.99 Customer Review: This is indeed a great book, then the ancient Chinese might not fully know what to do in warfare. But now this book as well as too many other books tells us only what to do, does not tell us how to do. The issue of how to do is perhaps the most difficult point in any activity. |

| 3. |  | BAND OF BROTHERS : "E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne, From Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest" from Simon & Schuster Audio Customer Review:  In this book, Ambrose crafts a narrative out of recollected war stories of a company of American paratroopers. It's surprisingly unemotional for a war story, largely because the participants aren't characterized very well. The company commander, Dick Winters, and a few others come alive in... |

| 4. |  | On Combat, The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace from Warrior Science Publications Price: $16.47 Customer Review: Grossman's work is always good and he is one of the pioneers in this field. He deserves his accolades but having read his other texts "On Killing ..." and "Teaching our kids to kill..." I am a fan but noticed the information repeating itself. In truth I was a bit disappointed in that but will never... |

| 5. |  | The Mission, The Men, and Me: Lessons from a Former Delta Force Commander from Berkley Hardcover Price: $17.13 Customer Review: There should be a way to make this "5 star" book stand out above all the other 5 stars. Like other reviewers, I could not put it down - especially the deeper I got into the book. The honesty about the situations and the rich lessons drawn from them make this book unique. It is not just a... |

| 6. | ![Blackwater: The Rise of the World s Most Powerful Mercenary Army [Revised and Updated]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZopVuqGsL._SL160_.jpg) | Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army [Revised and Updated] from Nation Books Price: $11.53 Customer Review:  Macbeth could have been talking about this book when he said: It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. For a book about the largest private military contractor and the man who leads it, you would think the author would give a little more than... |

| 7. | [no image] | The SAS Survival Handbook from Guild Publishing Customer Review: I've been on the lookout for a good little book on survival to use as a text in a class I'm teaching for 7-8 grade students at a local elementary/Jr. High school. I was pleased to find no bad language or "hard edge" military reference. Fine basic information for civillians. Very easy to read for Jr.... |

| 9. |  | Inside Delta Force from Bantam Press Customer Review: This is a page turner. It reads almost like a novel but it's a true story. There's a lot of time spent on training portion but it's really good. I first got this for my wife after we started watching "The Unit" (season one). She read it right away. I finally got around to reading it and I wish... |

| 10. | [no image] | With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa from Presidio Press Customer Review: December 29th, 1980, I arrived at the same Marine Corps boot camp which welcomed EB Sledge nearly 40 years before. With the Old Breed (WTOB) makes it perfectly clear why the stress and hardship of the Marine Corps boot camp experience is necessary. Thankfully, my generation was spared the subsequent... |

| 11. |  | The Art of War from Oxford University Press Price: $23.96 Customer Review: The permanent and global chinese military theory from a classical author. Its style and content characteristics support the idea of one unique author. It is of very easy reading and very long full comprehension. It is like to be defoliating an artichoke or an onion. With each useful reading, more... |

| 12. |  | On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society from Back Bay Books Price: $10.87 Customer Review: Buy it without hesitation. This is a seminal work. It should be mandatory reading for every law enforcement person if they're serious about truly beginning to understand their work environment. |

| 15. |  | The Art of War from Shambhala Price: $6.99 Customer Review: "So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will fight without danger in battles. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself." The Art of War is the most... |

| 16. | [no image] | We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families: Stories from Rwanda from Picador Customer Review: Perhaps it should surprise me less that locales once mauled by basest violence are often grotesquely tranquil: the soothing splash of waves at the D-Day beaches of Normandy; silently drifting snow flakes settling in a white shroud over Auschwitz, Majdanek, and Treblinka; flowers, flags and cold... |

| 17. |  | The Making of the Atomic Bomb from Simon & Schuster Price: $13.60 Customer Review: Few schooled in 1950-60s can fail to remember clumsy `duck-and-cover' squats choreographed in lockered hallways or under classroom desks. The nuclear age, born at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, bestowed omnipresent dread (and an appreciation of farcical drills) in children who (ironically)... |

| 18. |  | The Book of Five Rings from Shambhala Price: $6.99 Customer Review: I won't waste anyone's time or space on reviewing the book itself; there are plenty of great references and articles on the value of its contents. Instead I'll focus on the format itself and this particular printing; for starters, it's a lot smaller and more compact than I expected, but still easy... |

| 19. |  | Killer Elite: America's Most Secret Soldiers from Weidenfeld Military Customer Review:  This book is about a "secret" government agency called the Activity that has supposedly been involved with or behind a number of covert or clandestine missions for the past 40 years. Sounds interesting, but the author doesn't really provide a lot of new information. The Activity is mentioned as... |
