Small Unit Leadership: A Commonsense Approach

Dandridge M. Malone

Presidio Press, 1983

Well written
I am thoroughly satisfied with this book. Despite any descriptions that claim it is useful to civilian leaders I find that unlikely. The author even spends time in the first chapter to describe how very little of its contents are useful to civilian leaders and why. ...

Chosen Soldier: The Making of a Special Forces Warrior

Dick Couch

Three Rivers Press, 2008

Best I have read!
This is a really wonderful work. I believe it and experienced the ups and downs of every character. I know someone in the Special Forces and followed closely their selection experience. I learned much more from this book. I paid particular attention to the officer ...

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets

David Simon

Holt Paperbacks, 2006

Well written and very accessible, highly recommended
I read this book after watching - several times over - David Simon's most recent work, The Wire. I have always been interested in detectives and was drawn by this book because it is non-fiction. As well as being a highly enjoyable read, I would say there were three ...

Christopher Fowler

Bantam, 2008

I LOVE Christopher Fowler

The ICU Book, 3rd Edition

Paul L. Marino

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Publishers, 2006

Great book!
I own the 2nd ed. and am looking forward to owning the 3rd. This was recommended to me when I first started Critical Care (CC) Nursing 6 years ago and I have yet to find anything even close. I love the fact a physician wrote it. The information is much more clear ...

The Ghost Mountain Boys: Their Epic March and the Terrifying Battle for New Guinea--The Forgotten War of the ...

James Campbell

Three Rivers Press, 2008

Jungle War on a Shoestring!
This book is an easy read. I recommend it to anyone interested in how America's citizen soldiers fought in World War II. The book's style is similar to many of Stephen Ambroses works such as Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to ...

White Corridor: A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery (Peculiar Crimes Unit Mysteries)

Christopher Fowler

Bantam, 2008

Definitive British Mystery
If Ken Bruen's east London crime novels featuring the brutal and boorish Inspector Brant are literature as rugby, then Christopher Fowler's mysteries of the aging Brant and May detective duo are symphonies. Both entertaining, but Bruen is jarring and violent where ...

Brotherhood of Warriors: Behind Enemy Lines with a Commando in One of the World's Most Elite Counterterrorism ...

Aaron Cohen, Douglas Century

Ecco, 2008

Worth your time and money
My very brief review: Well written, engaging, humorous at times, inspiring, educational and most importantly a testament to those that put the safety and well being of their countrymen above their own.

Inside Delta Force: The Story of America's Elite Counterterrorist Unit

Eric Haney

Delta, 2005

great book, great shape
This is an awesome book, by a no nonsense guy, who has been there and done that. The book came quickly, and for a great price. It was new, and with no marks, and the binding was as if it never had been opened. Thanks for a great book!

Growing Readers: Units Of Study In The Primary Classroom

Kathy Collins

Stenhouse Publishers, 2004

Confirming What We Know & Making It Better
We just finished a Book Study @ school using this book! We all thought her suggestions were great (especially the one about not ONLY using running records & DRA levels to "label" readers) but using individual conferencing also. Mini Lesson Ideas abound! Specifics ...

Down Range: To Iraq and Back

Bridget C. Cantrell; Chuck Dean

WordSmith Books, 2005

Very Helpful - Thank you so much!
I was referred to this book after having a scary run-in with a close friend who is recently returned from Iraq. I really didn't understand what he is going through and have gained a lot of insight into how to be supportive and understanding. I'm going to give this ...

The Unit: Seek and Destroy (The Unit)

Patrick Andrews

Signet, 2008

The story line is fast-paced and filled with plenty of action
At Fort Griffith, Missouri, Commanding officer Tom Ryan orders the "Unit" to report to the Cave immediately. The five operatives (Sergeant Major Blane, Master Sergeant Gerhardt, Staff Sergeant Brown, and Sergeants Grey and Matoskah) arrive immediately because they ...

Full Dark House: A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery (Peculiar Crimes Unit Mysteries)

Christopher Fowler

Bantam, 2008

Clever on the surface, yes, but deep as a well....
This is a detective story of sorts, but don't read this book expecting the usual type of mystery story. Of course there are crimes to be solved, and an investigation to be carried out, with lots of plot twists and all the usual trappings of detective fiction. There is ...
