Best Christmas Pagaent Ever

Charlie Battery: A Marine Artillery Unit in Iraq (Hellgate Memories Series) (Hellgate Memories Series) ...

Andrew Lubin

L&R Publishing, 2004

Factual and Fascinating
This has got to be one of the best of the Iraq war books on the market today. Writing from the viewpoint of the parent of a deployed Marine, Mr. Lubin follows his son and his artillery battery as they sail off to Iraq, fight at An-Nasiriyah, and then thankfully, all come home. This is a well-written book; it has an easy and natural flow as the author works blends interviews with the parents and ...

Small Unit Leadership: A Commonsense Approach

22 reviews
Dandridge M. Malone

Presidio Press, 1983

Well written
I am thoroughly satisfied with this book. Despite any descriptions that claim it is useful to civilian leaders I find that unlikely. The author even spends time in the first chapter to describe how very little of its contents are useful to civilian leaders and why. If you are interested in military leadership it is an excellent book. Though written by an Army Colonel who speaks specifically ...

Unit Origami: Multidimensional Transformations

Tomoko Fuse

Japan Publications, 1990

Still my favorite Origami Book!
I have had this book for about 5-6 years now and IT'S A MESS! By that I mean, dog-eared, folded, written in, you get the idea. This is absolutely my favorite of the many origami books I have. It introduced me to modular origami back when I was just making boxes and cranes. The instructions are excellent and I have made so many models for gifts, decorations, you name it! Fuse's models ...

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets

David Simon

Houghton Mifflin (T), 1991

Well written and very accessible, highly recommended
I read this book after watching - several times over - David Simon's most recent work, The Wire. I have always been interested in detectives and was drawn by this book because it is non-fiction. As well as being a highly enjoyable read, I would say there were three main takeaways. First, the detailed first-hand account of actual cases and methods of investigation (including related disciplines ...

Deborah Heiligman

Great and informative
We bought this book to accompany the Butterfly Pavilion from amazon.com. This book was a little above her level of understanding, she is only 2 after all. She did get the gist of it. Great illustrations and concise.

Marc Wortman

PublicAffairs, 2006

A Grandson's Look At Grandfeathers
The Millionaires' Unit recapitulates in beautiful prose the story I first learned about as a child. It was the story, in part, of my grandfather, Erl Gould whom I called Grandfeathers, as he was Naval Aviator #68. Marc Wortman has combed historical and private records to harvest the best picture of Trubee Davison and his family, flying boats, 1916 and Great World War, and these intrepid young ...

I read this when I was young
I remember reading these books years and years ago! I'm in 10th grade and it's been more 5 years since I was in elementary school and yet when I go work at my old school I go back and read them again!

Revisiòn del libro SWAT WORKOUT
Hace apenas una semana que tuve la oportunidad de recibir este libro, y al revisarlo me pareciò excelente, tanto en el contenido como en el fin y proposito de la realizaciòn del mismo. Se parte sobre la base del principio bàsico de los cuerpos de seguridad que es servir y proteger y obviamente es un entrenamiento exigente en el cual se suda para evitar despuès verter sangre. Muy buen libro.

Wiley, 2007

EXCELLENT BOOK!
I have been reading World War 2 books for well over 3 decades and I can sincerely say this book did the best job of describing the horrors faced by the American soldier at the beginning states of "The Bulge". Excellent account of the battle before the Bastogne siege. Well done!

Dragon Days: Time for "Unconventional" Tactics

12 reviews
H. John Poole

Posterity Press, 2007

Unconventional military approach
The author is well-known in the military and academic environments. With the last FM-100, it was supposed that everything was now mentioned. But, not. A tradition, inherited from the Civil war, exists in the USA, of saving grunts lives, avoiding the combats at close distances and using with profusion the heavy fire support to win always. It does not serve to gain the hearts and the minds of the ...

The Battle for Hunger Hill: The 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment at the Joint Readiness Training Cente r

Daniel P. Bolger

Presidio Press, 1997

An Excellent Primer for Light Infantry Training
This is another good book by COL Daniel Bolger, this time about his battalion's (101st ABN) rotations to JRTC in 1994 and 1995. Lots of great details and observations about JRTC and the OPFOR. Bolger's battalion was badly abused in its 1994 rotation and he decided to get even the next time, which was fortunately less than a year later. Bolger criticizes the Deliberate Decision Making Process ...

Patton (Unabridged)

Alan Axelrod

audible.com

Great Read on Patton
In my humble opinion, this title is one of the best biographies I've read in a long time. While the book contains only about 180 pages, the account is thorough and does not get bogged down in a dry summary of war strategy and tactics that afflicts other books. Axelrod is able to describe in appropriate detail many aspects of Patton's life: 1. His early childhood in California, time at ...

Flint Whitlock

Basic Books, 1998

Thought Provoking
My late grandfather was a Thunderbird (157th rgmt, M co), and seldom talked of his World War Two days. After reading this book, I now know why. I can only imagine what it must have been like to live for days on end in a wet foxhole, always cold and miserable. Only have the faintest idea of what horrors he saw when Dachau was liberated. The stories of those days were never told by him. ...

Out of this world
Until now I had never attempted paper piecing, but with this book it was so easy. Tips, CD, pictures, the designs, were out of this world. Love all the possibilities using just a simple square then combining them into a 9 patch block. Thanks Carol

Teacher Created Resources, 1991

This book is an awesome teaching tool.
I am a sixth grade Language teacher and have been using Bridge to Terabithia as a major part of my curriculum for many years. Each year that I read this book it gets better. Each class gets a little something different from the book. The way my students engross themselves with the characters Jesse and Leslie always seems to amaze me!

Histoire and Collections, 2001

Something NEW on D-Day? Is that possible?
Just when you think that this is another re-hashing off all the often-copied stuff that's in every D-Day book you've ever seen... Guess again, Skippy. This isn't your Daddy's D-Day book! Gawne thankfully dusted off UNPUBLISHED information on largely ignored subjects regarding the Normandy landings, and I for one am glad to have this book in my collection. Amphibious forces, Engineers and ...
