Books worth review.....
Good 2A/gun books & novels or books about tactics/true events include;
SOG; David Plaster(US Army Reserve, 04/retired), a in depth, detailed guide of spec ops missions in SE Asia. Plaster served as a Sgt(Special Forces) in the elite MAC-V-SOG(Special Operations Group). He explains the weapons, tactics & a few declassified missions.
First SEAL; Roy Beihm(US Navy, 04/retired), this is a great non-fiction book about how the US Navy SEAL program started & what they did in the early years.
Cold Zero & No Heroes: These non fiction books are great in depth looks at different periods of the FBI's HRT(hostage rescue team).
American Sniper; Chris Kyle, this is a book detailing the SEAL missions in SW Asia during the 2000s by the sniper with the highest documented(confirmed KIAs) record in US military history.
The novels of Steven Hunter;
I, Sniper;
Point of Impact, etc. Hunter, a noted film critic & journalist knows a
lot about guns & tactics. He's a veteran & gun owner too,
.
Rogue Warrior Richard Marcinko(US Navy, 05/retired): Marcinko, a SEAL officer & SE Asia combat veteran started & ran the elite SEAL-06 unit(later called DevGru or Development Group). Marcinko went on to write a series of novels with different authors. The 1990s titles were good but honestly, the current novels(2005-2014) fall a little flat.
No Second Place Winner; a book by veteran US Border Patrol agent & WWII USMC veteran; Bill Jordan. Jordan was a target shooter & worked in the US southwest for many years.
The Protector; David Morrell, a novel about a ex-SF soldier who becomes a highly trained bodyguard. Morrell wrote
First Blood, the novel about cultural icon; John J Rambo.
An Inside Look at the Delta Force; Eric Haney(US Army, E9/retired), Haney explains the US Army spec ops history & missions in the early 1990s/late 1980s.
Task Force Orange; an in-depth look at the weapons & tactics of the little known covert ops group: ISA(Intel Support Activity/US Army). This group handles the signal intelligence & a few "black ops". They work closely with the CIA & other tier one special ops units.
There are a few others that I may list later.
