| My favorite book about the military. Fick's book is really about the distance between the ideals of a martial life and the reality of a military career.

The Secret History of the Special Forces
by Linda Robinson Oct 2004
(27 reviews) List: $26.95
388 pages, Hardcover
PublicAffairs
| The book isn't about the Masters of Chaos. It's about the Masters of the profession of unconventional warfare who turn chaos into order (like herding cats). It's a great read and really humanizes Special Forces Soldiers. In other words, they have fears and doubts, and make mistakes but continue on fighting the War on Terror.

| This book was published after the author died of natural causes. His widow found stacks of handwritten notes about a secret operation behind the lines to organize Koreans trapped around Inchon to help with the coming invasion (gather data and support with the enemy all around you). She put it together and got the story published. It's a bit rough in the flow, but it's a true story...and it's a very good one.

| If you liked how Neal Stephenson made the math of code breaking fun and easy to understand in Cryptonomicon, you'd like the Code Book. It's the history of code making and code breaking with great analogies for people like me to understand complex problems and their mathematical solutions.

Serenity certainly lives up to it's hype.

| Not anti-war or pro-war. It shows that war is beautiful and that war sucks... And I loved every single minute of the movie.
If you're looking for an open, honest and hugely un-biased look at what has been happening in Iraq and what our Soldiers think about it, Gunner Palace won't disappoint you. It will be well worth your time to see the movie.
