Books

The complete list of all of my readings including a brief summary and if I liked it. Once I’ve finished the small write-up regarding a specific book, there will be a link within the table below.

This page is still a work in progress, given all the books I’ve read and need to add here.

Book	Writter	Summary	What did I think of it ?
The Mission, The Men, and Me	Pete Blaber	Former CAG commander weaves a story of all the lessons he learned revolving around a handful of anecdotes of his time in the Unit.	Excellent read, both fun and knowledgeable.
The Way of The knife	Mark Mazzetti	How the CIA had to evolve from the dawn of global terrorism to the global war on terror.	Very interesting, including a lot of compelling anecdotes.
The Only Thing Dying For	Eric Blehm	The story of the green berets tasked with infiltrating Hamid Karzaï at the beginning of the war in Afghanistan.	A lesser known bit of history that also serves as a testimony to the difficulty of conducting joint operations.
Rougneck Nine-One	Sgt 1st class Frank Antenori and Hans Halberstadt	How ODA-391 managed to win over an entire iraki armored battalion.	A very action packed read highlighting how troop quality can be the winning factor in battle. Interesting as it marks some of the early Javelin use.
The British Sniper : A century of evolution	Steve Houghton	A chronological study of all the sniper rifles issued by the British Army during the past century.	Amazingly detail oriented and includes a boatload of superb photos.
The Green Meanie : L96A1	Steve Houghton	Traces the life of the L96A1 from its inception to its fielding.	Just like its big brother “The British Sniper” it packs a tons of full color illustrations. And on top of that, recounts the journey behind the rifle that sparked its own revolution.
