Try landing on one of these bucking broncos without boltering.

The best book I’ve ever read! — Soto (Which, to be fair, doesn’t mean much. Soto’s in the book and hasn’t read many.) These are the stories no recruiter will ever tell you. No battlefield medals. No hero speeches. Just a group of misfit soldiers stuck overseas during the COVID era — dodging wild boars, breaking rules, and trying not to lose their minds. I’m Chase — formerly Sergeant Thweatt. Freed from any obligation to the U.S. Government, I can finally tell you what military life is actually like behind the scenes. I wrote this book for two reasons: • First, to tell my ...

From the cockpit of an F/A-18 Hornet, U.S. Navy Commander Frank Weisser conveys the lessons he learned flying as the Lead Solo for the Blue Angels, on multiple combat deployments, and as stunt pilot for Top Gun: Maverick. Each chapter opens with a flight sequence and describes a lesson, skill, or value that Weisser learned in the sky and that carried him through a life of service with the Navy: finding focus, developing trust, opening communication, overcoming adversity, facing failure, and recognizing courage within oneself.

Karie Fugett’s story depicts an oft-overlooked reality of war: the experience of the many thousands of caregivers and spouses—mostly women, mostly young, mostly poor—whose lives have been shattered by battles fought against enemies abroad and against addiction at home. Tender, vivid, and laced with dark humor, Alive Day is at once an epic and engrossing love story, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a powerful indictment of the sins of a nation.

T. E. Lawrence was a man of all seasons. Known for his great thirst for adventure, he earned the name Lawrence of Arabia due to his hands-on expertise in the Middle East during World War I and the Arab Revolt. Yet his achievements extended well beyond exploration—he was an innovative soldier, a dedicated archaeologist, and a passionate curator of history.

When war erupted in Ukraine, the world paused—some in solidarity, others in silence. But for one retired British police officer, the call to bear witness was too loud to ignore. Robert Marshall takes listeners on an unforgettable journey into the heart of a nation under siege. From bombed-out streets in Kyiv to quiet moments with grieving families in Lviv, this is not just a war story—it’s a story of courage, love, despair, and human connection in the face of unthinkable cruelty.

What happens when you lose your freedom and the people who eventually get it back for you are no longer alive to thank? Set during the horrors of World War II, Remember Us by Robert Edsel—#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Monuments Men—opens in Limburg, a small, rural province at the southern tip of the Netherlands. In the pre-dawn hours of May 10, 1940, Hitler’s forces rolled through the city, shattering more than 100 years of peace in the Netherlands. The country fell one week later. The Dutch lived under German occupation for four-and-a-half years, until September 1944.

The Greatest Generation is dwindling to nothing at a rapid pace. Many of them are already gone. In many cases, all we have left of them are photographs, old letters, and the dim memories of what we were told by them when we were very young. Often they preferred not to talk about their difficult times and so we have nothing of those years when they came of age. Orville K. Fleetwood was one of those who said little to his family after he returned home from serving in World War II. What we do have are his letters home from Europe written at the end of the war. Three of his brothers also served...

This book presents the remarkable personal journals of German soldier Hans Roth. Writing as events transpired, he recorded the mystery and tension as the Germans deployed on the Soviet frontier in June 1941.

In The Raider, Cundill Prize-winning historian Stephen R. Platt gives us the first authoritative account of Carlson’s larger-than-life exploits: the real story, based on years of research including newly discovered diaries and correspondence in English and Chinese, with deep insight into the conflicted idealism about the Chinese Communists that would prove Carlson’s undoing in the McCarthy era. Tracing the rise and fall of an unlikely American war hero, The Raider is a story of exploration, of cultural (mis)understanding, and of one man’s awakening to the sheer breadth of the world.

John Humphreys was just a boy soldier in the Royal Engineers when war was declared in 1939. By the war's end he had jumped into Arnhem with the Parachute Regiment to spearhead the attack on the bridge. For days Humphreys and the rest of his squad held on, outnumbered and outgunned by the German army fighting to the last bullet and refusing to surrender. But the Bridge Too Far is only the climax of Humphreys’ remarkable war. Twice captured as a prisoner of war, he twice escaped from the enemy to make his way back to Allied lines in order to rejoin the fight.
