How about a list of some of your favorite books or books that should be required reading for the modern warrior, hunter, trapper, or man? A few of my favorites in no particular order: Anything by Jeff Cooper Anything by Peter Capstick “Gates of fire” Steven Pressfield “The Perfect Shot” Kevin “Doctari” Robertson “Practical Shooting, Beyond Fundamentals” Brian Enos “A Rifleman Went to War” H.M. McBride “Emma Gees” H.M. McBride “Hoof beats of a Wolfer” O’Gorman | |||

I am in..... "Rifle Accuracy Facts" by Harold Vaughn "The Art of War" by SunTzu "Patton a Study in Command" by H. Essame "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross "The Holy Bible" by, well.........you know. And for really young Warriors under 18, every parent should read this allegory to their children, "THE DREAM GIVER" by Bruce Wilkinson | ||||
|
My 2 cents... "What to expect when your expecting" "What to expect your babies first year" (See my last post) and a few others: "Tales from margaritaville" J. Buffett "Tourist Season" Carl Hiassen "God, Guns, and Rock and roll" Ted Nugent" "On Killing" Col. Dave Grossman "Lone Survivor" Marcus Luttrell "It Doesn't take a Hero" Gen. H.Norman Schwarzkpof "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" Douglas Adams Don. "What in the wide wide world of sports is a going on here?" | ||||
|
+1 on "What To Expect When You're Expecting", and "The Baby Book" by Dr Sears. It's came in Handy with my 20lb 4 month old! I will add: "First In" by Gary Schroen "Night Stalkers" by Michael Durant "None Braver" by Michael Hirsh "The Rescue Season" by Bob Drury "Killer Elite" by Michael Smith "Not A Good Day To Die" by Sean Naylor "No Room For Error" by Col John Carney And probably a few others I can't think of off the top of my head. | ||||
|
Lone Survivor and First In.......great stuff. Does anyone other than me grow tired of reading account after account of comms failing to work.......YET AGAIN!!! "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government and I'm here to help." PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN | ||||
|
Yep! It's either comm issues or chain of command issues. "Not a Good Day To Die" is a great example of both of those! | ||||
|
Just started "Leadership and Training for the Fight" By MSG Howe. Looks good so far. | ||||
|
Yeah I've been wanting to try that one. Keep us up to date! | ||||
|
Just my 2 cents also, "Spandau Phoenix" and anything else by Greg Iles "The Master Sniper" " " " " Stephen Hunter Anything by Preston and Child. "Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien of course "The Dragonbone Chair" trilogy by Tad Williams "Godless" by Ann Coulter Most anything by Michael Crichton And several books I saw above! There were several I have never heard of, so I now have a new list good reading materials! Thanks for the post! | ||||
|
"The Bible" "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by E. Gibbon "Slouching Towards Gomorrah" by Robert Bork "The Spirit of Laws" by B. Montesquieu any detailed histories absent of agenda, esp concerning Philip of Macedon (use of the 5th collumn), Western Civilization (emphasis on Magna Carta and it's significance) and any honest account of the results of modern paganism (liberalism)..perhaps a side-by-side reading of the Communist Manifesto and the current Democrat Party platfom "He who does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it" ..just some thoughts by a simple minded soul | ||||
|
"Crime and Punishment" --Fyodor Dostoevsky "War and Peace" -- Lev Tolstoy "The Bridge on the Drina" -- Ivo Andric "Bolt action rifles" -Frank de Haas Bojan Milovanovic -- Serbia | ||||
|
A Nation of Sheep--Andrew P. Napolitano John Adams--David McCullough Learning To Eat Soup With a Knife--by John A. Nagl (Author), Peter J. Schoomaker (Foreword) To Dare and to Conquer: Special Operations and the Destiny of Nations, from Achilles to Al Qaeda--Derek Leebaert The Revolution: A Manifesto--Ron Paul | ||||
|
Is a nation of sheep a new book? "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government and I'm here to help." PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN | ||||
|
Published October '07. Sam, if you haven't yet, you definitely have to take a look at "Killer Elite", "The Revolution: A Manifesto", and "Not A Good Day To Die", in that order. | ||||
|
Roger that, I have read none of those 3! "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government and I'm here to help." PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN | ||||
|
Since I can't lay my hands of books like "Rifle Accuracy Facts" or "Killer Elite" I must stick to the ones I can. Recently I was advised by my sister to read the book "The Shadow of the Wind" -- Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Great stuff. Don't miss it. Bojan Milovanovic -- Serbia | ||||
|
So how exactly would we ship you some good books? | ||||
|
Thanks Sam. That's outstanding offer. I don't know what to say. But here's the short story of previous attempts, when someone tried to send some stuff my way. About year or so Mike R. send me two TacOps T-shirts and they never showed up. Or, when we are at it. Perhaps it would be good thing if you could make a list of the books I really need, or you think it would be good for me to have it. I think I can find someone in Canada to bring me some when he comes back to Serbia. What say you? Bojan Milovanovic -- Serbia | ||||
|
Try "Kill Bin Laden: A Delta Force Commander's Account of the Hunt for the World's Most Wanted Man " by Dalton Fury | ||||
|
Thanks Moose I will put that one on the list too, but right now I'm thinking on purchasing the books that will "wider" my technical knowledge. I think that Riffle accuracy facts is one of those books. Bojan Milovanovic -- Serbia | ||||
