The Personal Effects of the War on Terror
Loved this book. It really tells the personal side of the "War on Terror". It shows how it affects people from the President to trial lawyers trying to defend an "enemy combatant" at Guantanamo Bay. It also shows the differences culturally and communication wise ...
Tsar: A Thriller
Ted Bell
Atria
, 2008
Tsar
It took me longer to read this book than usual. It was ok, but it's not the type of book I like to read. I like mysteries. I think that is why I chose it. This isn't a mystery. It reads like its a story of a movie I guess. It's just different. I'm sorry if this review ...
The Forever War
Dexter Filkins
Knopf
, 2008
Why They Hate Us
I've read a lot of books on Islam and our wars in Muslim lands. This is one of the best. A central lesson I took away: the Iraqi tells us what they think we want to hear so they can get our money and weapons, and say something quite different to each other. It was ...

Scribner

A Most Wanted Eloquence
I won't attempt a discussion of narrative or plot. Those and the characters in Le Carre's latest work are commented on in all the other reviews. Let me simply say that the writing is breathtaking, the combination of words sublime. No doubt other authors are as good. ...
Infidel
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Free Press
, 2008
Brilliant...a 5-star-plus masterpiece!
I am certainly not one to gush over books. Authors are human, and write from their own biased perspectives. But every so often a book comes along that gives my own biased perspective a nice swift kick, and that definitely applies here. When it comes to religious ...
American Lightning: Terror, Mystery, the Birth of Hollywood, and the Crime of the Century

American Lighting is a brilliant exposé on the highly disparate, and yet amazingly similar, lives of three men: a lawyer, a filmmaker, and a private detective, all of whom helped usher in the twentieth century with their groundbreaking work. Certainly, individual books ...

Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10
Marcus Luttrell
Little, Brown and Company
, 2007
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 ...
