More Guns Less Crime
Unintended Consequences
In the Gravest Extreme

[MicroBalrog]

Pallas

 

[ACP230]

I suggest some Jeff Cooper books.

Fireworks

That should keep you busy for a while.

Lady friends should read - "Armed & Female" by Paxton Quigley

Friends who like true stories should read "The Best Defense" by Rober A. Waters

generalized books on guns freedom etc.

Dial 911 and Die
Death by Gun Control
The State vs. The People
The Mitzvah (novel)

I highly recommend "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.

How about:

• For Cause and Comrades - McPherson

  My War Gone by, I Miss it so - Loyd
  The Quiet American - Greene
  The File: a Personal History - Ash
  Disturbing the Peace - Havel
  Plagues and Peoples - McNeill
  The Cholera Years - Rosenberg
  The Gospel of Germs - Tomes
  Epidemics: Opposing Viewpoints - Greenhaven Press

Well, that's for the first six weeks anyway.

Thanks, these should definitely keep me busy for awhile.

 

[cdbeaver]

Anything by W.E.B. Griffin.

 

[Nando Aqui]

• A relatively new one is "In the Company of Heroes - A True Story" by Michael Durant, the American BlackHawk pilot that was shot down and taken prisioner in Mogadishu. It is great!

• As has been suggested, don't miss "Marine Sniper" by Henderson about Hathcock.

• And for shooting skills and much more, "The Ultimate Sniper", by Plaster.

Enjoy!

Sharpdogs:

check out this THR thread about great gun books to read


Blades: Which translation of "Art of War"?

I already own two, and neither is readable, seem to be translated by
Chiknese literary students, not warriors...

and FWIW I just fininshed Steven Pressman's
Gates of Fire upon the recommendation of the good folks
here at THR; it was outstanding

 

[ChickenHawk]

Hey Glamdring,

"The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is one of my favorite sci-fi books that I've ever read. Great choice.

The only sci-fi I've ever liked better than that is Asimov's Foundation Trilogy. Amazing that it was written in the 1950's and it's still better than any other sci-fi I've ever read. That guy had amazing vision.

Cheers,
ChickenHawk
