Great Workout-you will get in the best shape of your life
I am in the 12th week of the 12 week program and have just > completed the max push/pull/situp day. I am so impressed. I have gone from only 7 pullups/75 pushups/ and 55 situps in week one to 38 pullups/125 pushups/ and 80 situps in week 12. I have lost about 15 pounds and I am in the best shape of my life. I love the fact that I can look around at the gym and I am confident that no one is ...

A Prayer for Everything!
There are prayers for everything you could possible face in your life! I, first, received this book as a gift from my mother when I was facing an illness. I let my friend borrow mine, who was facing loneliness, and she loved the many other prayers so I bought her the book. My husband and I are expecting a baby and we pray the prayer for our unborn child very often. This is a great gift to give ...

Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway

Potomac Books Inc., 2005

A History Book That Delivers What The Movie Couldn't
I was rather surprised that the authors make no mention of the actual prime source for the Battle of Midway that most Americans carry around in their heads: the 1976 film, "Midway." With familiar names like Henry Fonda, Glenn Ford, Robert Mitchum, Hal Holbrook and Charlton Heston, the film reinforces the popular wisdom that an under gunned American Naval task force, on June 5, 1942, surprised the ...

Lieutenant Hornblower

C.S. Forester

Back Bay Books, 1998

Among the better of the Hornblower books
This is the sixth Hornblower book I've read, although it's only the second in terms of the chronology of Hornblower's naval career. And I must say, it's one of the better books. CS Forester could be a compelling writer, but some of the Hornblower novels feel a little disjointed. Not this one. Lieutenant Hornblower is written from the point of view of Lieutenant Bush, whom Hornblower meets ...

True Devotion (Uncommon Heroes Series #1)

Dee Henderson

Thorndike Press, 2004

An Intriguing Book Without Garbage
Dee Henderson has once again written a fascinating book. It is well written, absorbing, and fast-paced, yet contains none of the lurid details less skilled authors use to attract readers. It realistically shows the struggles Christians face when dealing with adversity.

From The Author
This was written for my Classmates and like them it has brought me nothing but joy. The book comes from the heart, theirs and mine. I've been pleased to hear how much help the book was for some in getting through BUD/S. I do love the questions from young men who aspire to become Team Members so feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer. realnavyseal@yahoo.com John Carl Roat Class-29, ...

Torpedo: A Surface Warfare Thriller (Unabridged)

Jeff Edwards

Torpedo-proof debut!
Jeff Edward's "Torpedo" is riveting! A great storyline mixed with an intricate knowledge of the subject matter gives the reader a real sense of "being there" as the story unfolds. I found the interjection facts regarding the historical development of the torpedo enhanced the gravity of the subject matter and made the story even more of a page-turner. I highly recommend "Torpedo" and congratulate ...

The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors

Ranks with Shattered Sword
A couple of years ago, I read "Shattered Sword" (about the Battle of Midway) and proclaimed it the best WWII account of Pacific Theatre Naval history to date. I now have to say THE LAST STAND OF THE TIN CAN SAILORS by James Hornfischer ranks right beside it. This is a brilliantly presented accounting of Halsey's folly when he let his enormous ego get in the way of following orders. The result ...

Childish Things

Brian Naranjo

BookSurge Publishing, 2006

The best first novel I've ever read
Simply put, I think this is the best first novel I've ever read. I don't know just how autobiographical the book is, but it certainly matches what I and a lot of men went through at one time in our young lives. Even though Mr. Naranjo is young enough to be my kid, I had the same feelings, the same thoughts, the same fears. It's a coming of age story. Specifically it's the story of a young ...

Maturin's book
The focus is on Stephen Maturin in this seventh installment of the Aubrey-Maturin series, which, though it isn't the best or most exciting of the first seven books, is still a ripping good read. Returning to England following their escapades in North America, Aubrey and Maturin try to settle into life at home -- Jack with his family and Stephen with his scientific pursuits -- but their pasts ...

Rescue of Streetcar 304: A Navy Pilot's Forty Hours on the Run in Laos

Kenny Wayne Fields

US Naval Institute Press, 2007

The Rescue Of Streetcar 304
The true story of a US navy pilot forced down in Laos during the Viet Nam war. Surrounded by enemy troops, he was only feet away at times from being discovered. The suspense makes this a very difficult book to put down. The minute by minute account is heart pounding.

One Hundred Days: The Memoirs of the Falklands Battle Group Commander

Sandy Woodward, Patrick Robinson

Naval Institute Pr, 1992

Exceptional war memoir!
This is an absolutely first-rate memoir by the man who led the British fleet to victory in the Falkland Islands War. Only 50 years-old when he was chosen to lead the battle group to recapture the islands in 1982 (hard to believe this gentleman is now 73!), Admiral Sir John F. "Sandy" Woodward was courageous and competent commander. That being the case, he is also refreshingly honest and humble ...

Wonderful as Usual!
I enjoy reading but believe there are too many good Christian writers out there to read much of the secular trash today. I used to think it was safe to go to my church library to get good reading material--WRONG!! They are interested in getting best sellers, etc. I enjoy a good novel that keeps my interest without the foul language, the sleeping around, etc. Don't get me wrong-- sometimes ...

Destroyer Captain: Lessons of a First Command

James G., Adm. Usn Stavridis

Naval Institute Press, 2008

Five Stars for a Four Star
You...will...love...this...book. But only if you want to know of honesty, humility, humor, the courage of everyday acts of service by others, and the peaks and valleys of leadership. Not to mention wonderful writing, anecdotes, and insights by a distinguished military commander writing as a young officer, a decade and a half before pinning on the four-stars of an admiral. If you want a great ...

Vietnam Air Losses: USAF, Navy, and Marine Corps Fixed-Wing Aircraft Losses in SE Asia 1961-1973

Christopher Hobson

Specialty Press, 2002

A Must For Air Crew Veterans
More of a reference book than anything, this is a must have for fixed wing air crew veterans of the Viet Nam era. The alphabetical listing of personnel involved directs you to the proper date to read about the incident. I found a few of what I know personally to be small errors but this book has made it possible for me to get in touch with guys whom I thought were lost. I also particularly like ...

Naval Inst Pr, 1997

Relevant to Post 9-11 and the Road to War with Iraq
In the aftermath of 9-11 and the concerted efforts by both the policy and intelligence leadership in both America and the United Kingdom to both deny that 9-11 was a failure on their parts, and to "sex up" the dossiers leading to an unjust war in Iraq, I really like and recommend this book to anyone remotely connected to national security decision-making. There are four major points in this book ...

Virtualbookworm.com Publishing, 2004

Right on
I did 12 years in the Teams, and I didn't want to like this book. There are just way too many books on SEALs out there. Didn't think the author could add much of value. I was wrong. Don't be mistaken. This book is not fiction. Yes, the characters have made-up names. Yes, the ending is clearly meant to entertain. Everything else is right on, and is as real as I've read. Reading the book ...

Editors of Phaidon Press

Phaidon Press, 2005

Fantastic reference
This little book couldn't be any more straightforward or useful. Over the span of 500 pages, each page is devoted to a different artist, with one representative work by that artist and a short description of his or her life and work. At the end, an invaluable 6-page glossary provides short and informative descriptions of the major genres and schools of art (e.g., Fauvism, Constructivism, ...

Don Brown

Thorndike Press, 2008

Sizzling Political Thriller!
Senator Eleanor Claxton makes the perfect villan. She is scheming, conniving, and will stoop to anything, including murder, to push her liberal agenda and presidential campaign. JAG Officer Zack Brewer is the perfect storm of a hero, caught in an impossible predicament in a no win situation. He is a heartthrob who is every woman's dream. NCIS Special Agent Shannon McGilverry is the perfect female ...
