Kill Bin Laden: A Delta Force Commander's Account of the Hunt for the World's Most Wanted Man12 reviews
Dalton Fury

St. Martin's Press, 2008

Enter the spine-tingling world of Delta Force
Bravo for the author Fury... I see that other reviewers have highly detailed the gist of the story, so I'll state little more than I found the book to be excellent. I received it yesterday and I got so caught up in the story that I read it through to the last page at 3AM this morning. A gripping read that I could not postpone finishing...for sure, any reader should come away in awe at the ...

Thomas Pyzdek

McGraw-Hill, 2003

"Six Sigma: The Complete Guide..." Well worth the money!
As a former practitioner of Total Quality Management, Kaizen, Continuous Improvement, Just In Time, Total Productive Maintenance, etc. and, now, Six Sigma, I highly recommend the "Six Sigma: The Complete Guide..." to both newbie's wanting a broad and deep explanation of Six Sigma as well as seasoned Belts wanting to brush up on its principles. I keep it continually at my finger tips to review and ... 		  
  







  
  
Operation Hotel California: The Clandestine War Inside Iraq3 reviews
Mike Tucker, Charles Faddis

The Lyons Press, 2008

Fantastic!
Operation Hotel California is a stunning book about the ineptitude of the administration's policy in pre-war Iraq, a policy that (among other things) prevented the elimination of an Al Queda cell--something that author Sam Faddis and his team of CIA operatives on a clandestine mission inside Iraq could have organized quickly and with ease. I read the book in one sitting. Fantastic! 		  
  







  
  
Winning the Loser's Game: Timeless Strategies for Successful Investing32 reviews
Charles D. Ellis

McGraw-Hill, 2002

A classic book on investing
Charles was not the first to blow the whistle on active investing but was the first to write a book for the average investor. His advise and counsel are outstanding. In fact he has been called by the current administration to establish criteria for self funded social security investing. The book is a basic tutorial every investor should have on his bookshelf. Piscaqua Research in a study ... 		  
  







  
  
Intrepid: The Epic Story of America's Most Legendary Warship2 reviews
Bill White, Robert Gandt

Broadway, 2008

Gandt & White "Ace" It....
Another naval aviation book success from the computers of Bob Gandt and Bill White, a non-fiction one this time that already has been number 518 on the best sales list of Amazon.com after only three days on the street. This book was also selected by the Military Book Club as a primary selection in the near future. Despite the more than tepid review of "Publisher's Weekly" quoted above, ... 		  
  







  
  
VMware Infrastructure 3: Advanced Technical Design Guide and Advanced Operations Guide7 reviews
Scott Herold, Ron Oglesby, ...

The Brian Madden Company, 2008

Your personal VMware consultant
Last week while speaking at TechTarget's Advanced Enterprise Virtualization seminar, I was asked a question I get quite often - "What book do you recommend if we want to learn more?" The answer to that was easy. The audience consisted pretty much of senior level administrators who were either running or planned to deploy VMware-based virtual environments, so I asked if everyone had purchased a ... 		  
  







  
  
CISSP Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, 4th Ed. (All-in-One)18 reviews
Shon Harris

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007

Wouldn't have passed without it!
I can honestly say that if it weren't for this book I probably would not have passed my CISSP exam. Unlike other prep-guides, Shon engages the reader and keeps their attention. Also, this book doesn't read like a "read this book and pass an exam" book. It reads like a security book which just so happens to teach you the contents of the CISSP CBK. Good work and congrats on the 4th edition. 		  
  







  
  
Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10773 reviews
Marcus Luttrell

Back Bay Books, 2008

A rare, inspiring perspective. An excellent book.
Luttrell's book offers a ground-level perspective on the kinds of operations the US Military's Special Operations Forces are engaged in all around the world, all the time. Too often this topic (Special Forces, SEALs, Delta Force, etc) is dominated by superficial books that amount to little more than anecdotes from second- or third-hand war stories. Not the case with Lone Survivor. I suppose ... 		  
  







  
  
Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done231 reviews
Larry Bossidy, Ram Charan, ...

Crown Business, 2002

A "Must Read" for Executives
If a business leader were to select one book as a guide to success, this would be my choice. As a former AlliedSignal executive, I have seen these practices applied and reinforced; I have also seen the results that they deliver. The book defines Execution as "...a systematic process of rigorously discussing hows and whats, questioning, tenaciously following through, and ensuring ... 		  
  







  
  
The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement303 reviews
Eliyahu M. Goldratt, Jeff Cox

North River Press, 2004

Great framework for improving anything
Though geared to an industrial environment, this book teaches how to think when in need to improve processes. Makes great introductory reading for business process management professionals. 		  
  







  
  
LEADERSHIP AND TRAINING FOR THE FIGHT: A FEW THOUGHTS ON LEADERSHIP AND TRAINING FROM A FORMER SPECIAL ...27 reviews
PAUL, R. HOWE

AuthorHouse, 2005

Highly recommended for the dedicated leader
This is one of the best books I have ever read on leadership. The author outlines a realistic approach with proven techniques. I've grown tired of all the silly communication methods and manipulations, found in the flood of many books on the market, on how to motivate those under your supervision. Paul Howe knows how to lead. If you are truly interested in leadership, this book is highly ... 		  
  







  
  
Learning Perl, 5th Edition293 reviews
Randal Schwartz, Tom Phoenix, ...

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

A programming library's foundation title and a highly recommended pick
LEARNING PERL is a programming library's foundation title and a highly recommended pick: it covers all the basics of what most programmers use and need to get started with Perl, and offers up a fifth edition of a classic first published in 1993. The latest changes to the software including Perl 5.10 are covered in chapters that discuss file operations, expressions, matching, and more. It also ... 		  
  







  
  
We Are Soldiers Still: A Journey Back to the Battlefields of Vietnam12 reviews
Harold G. Moore, Joseph L. Galloway

Harper, 2008

Should be on the Desk of every President, Congressperson, General and Soldier
This is a book that I hope will be widely read in the White House, Congress, Pentagon, West Point and Army bases. A very poignant journey for General Moore and journalist Joe Gallagher back to Vietnam and the Ia Drang valley where so many of Hal Moore's boys so bravely fell in battle. Nice that Moore and Gallagher visit the leaders of the opposing army. We too easily forget that those who fell as ... 		  
  







  
  
Killer Elite: The Inside Story of America's Most Secret Special Operations Team32 reviews
Michael Smith

St. Martin's Griffin, 2008

Killer Elite by michael smith
Killer Elite: The Inside Story of America's Most Secret Special Operations Team -The book written is basically a "compilation" of Articles and other Book's over the past 20yrs; some better than other's; some "much" worse. The "Intelligence Support Activity", Motto: "Veritas Omnia Vincula Vincit", (with the words "Send Me" on the sword in it's "Formal" Crest). It was formed following the ... 		  
  







  
  
The Art of Innovation: Lessons in Creativity from IDEO, America's Leading Design Firm72 reviews
Tom Kelley, Jonathan Littman, ...

Doubleday Business, 2001

comments on Art of Innovation
Although it is becoming a bit dated, the basic tenants that are discussed are relevant today as much as they were 10 years ago. Of interest to me is the strong attention to the team dynamics that under pin high performance development teams. Very much still worth the reading time.

Robert Kurson

Ballantine Books, 2005

Shadow Divers
I totally enjoyed Shadow Divers. It kept your interest right up to the end. Would recommend this book for history lovers and divers. Full of suspense and mystery. Couldn't put the book down. Kathy Kauranen

Escape from the Deep: A Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous Crew18 reviews
Alex Kershaw

Da Capo Press, 2008

Gripping
This is not a book made great by the writing. Rather, this book is great because the author didn't get in the way of this epic story. No US submarine sunk more enemy tonnage than the Tang and whether any US sub sunk as many enemy ships is debatable. Dick O'Kane, the Tang's skipper, literally jumps out of the pages as America's foremost sub warrior. Anyone uncertain about what it means to be ... 		  
  







  
  
Agent Zigzag: A True Story of Nazi Espionage, Love, and Betrayal28 reviews
Ben Macintyre

Three Rivers Press, 2008

Hip, Funny, Fascinating
Great story would make a terrific film. Jaw-dropping exploits combined with a cluelessness that's very engaging. A great read. I see Clive Owen as Agent ZigZag, 'cause he's a ladies' man, a funny guy (who thinks he's suave) and hysterical as a spy. 		  
  







  
  
The King of Sting: The Amazing True Story of a Modern American Outlaw14 reviews
Craig Glazer, Sal Manna

Skyhorse Publishing, 2008

I dreamed of being an outlaw
I was driving across town when I heard this guy on the radio who turned out to be Craig Glazer, telling some of the craziest stories I have ever heard. And then I realized the stories were about his life. At first I thought it was a new movie coming out then I thought he was a celebrity speaker like Sam Elliott but nope.....it turned out he was a guy not much different than me. I haven't bought a ...
