Iluminating.
Revisado: 10-12-20
This book objectively tells the story of the special prosecutor and his team. Building the case, dealing with obstruction, and what can be legislated to avoid many issues that could come up in the future. Well worth your time if even handed application of law is your interest!

Historia
When Guy Sajer joins the infantry full of ideals in the summer of 1942, the German army is enjoying unparalleled success in Russia. However, he quickly finds that for the foot soldier the glory of military success hides a much harsher reality of hunger, fatigue, and constant deprivation. Posted to the elite Grosse Deutschland division, he enters a violent and remorseless world where all youthful hope is gradually ground down, and all that matters is the brute will to survive.

This book is a very visceral account of a German soldier on the Russian front. Amazing chronicle of life, death, and retreat. Wounded, starved, and hopeless soldiers trying to find a reason to live.

Excellent Mid 60s History of Marines in Vietnam.
Revisado: 04-17-20
The pros aren't real descriptive but for those interested in heavy contact, WOW! Stories are told of all types of situations and missions. A lot takes place in Vietnam below the DMZ in I Corps. I had much respect for the Marines and Corpsman in Grunt, Recon, Helicopter, and all the other units stationed in Vietnam but I now have an exponential amount of respect for them! Semper Fi Brothers, thank you for your distinguished and outstanding service!

Historia
On the killing ground that was the island of Guadalcanal, a 2,000-yard-long ridge rose from the jungle canopy. Behind it lay the all-important air base of Henderson Field. And if Henderson Field fell, it would mean the almost certain death or capture of all 12,500 marines on the island. But the marines positioned on the ridge were no normal fighters - they were the hard-fighting men of Edson's Raiders, an elite fighting unit within an already elite Marine Corps.

Historia
Modern humans have come a long way in the 70,000 years they’ve walked the earth. Art, science, culture, trade - on the evolutionary food chain, we’re true winners. But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing, and sometimes - just occasionally - we’ve managed to truly f--k things up.

Historia
John Edmund Delezen felt a kinship with the people he was instructed to kill in Vietnam; they were all at the mercy of the land. His memoir begins when he enlisted in the Marine Corps and was sent to Vietnam in March of 1967. He volunteered for the Third Force Recon Company, whose job it was to locate and infiltrate enemy lines undetected and map their locations and learn details of their status. The duty was often painful both physically and mentally. He was stricken with malaria in November of 1967, wounded by a grenade in February of 1968, and hit by a bullet later that summer.

Among Marines!
Revisado: 01-16-20
This is a very accurate depiction of " the boonies " in Vietnam. A very visceral account of Marines making their way through a mission and finding a way to complete it. Nothing glamorous or appealing about the task at hand. It certainly doesn't push the reader in any type of fervor making you wish you were there in the jungle. I don't know what else to say accept it's well worth a read or listen.

Historia
Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son, Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches.

The story starts before the Comanche rule the plains. The story deals with the rise and fall including the exploits of Quanah Parker. Parker was formidable as an indian warrior an became a match as a negotiator and caretaker of his people! Interesting and well told!

Like The Stonewall Brigade these Australian Militia Men fought in New Guinea without food, uniforms, ammunition and the like. All the people engaged in this campaign whether Japanese, Australian, New Guinean Tribesman, fought with tremendous spirit through the adversity. Amazing read!

Col Mosby was of the Kings of asymmetrical warfare
Revisado: 11-24-19
Besides being an excellent book about the tales of John Mosby the Parisan Ranger it is a great example of a great man and a great American. Fair dealings and truth telling were Mosby's way of life. A raider who would rather not take life. We (The United States) could use several thousand Mosbys in our modern government today. What has happened to us?
