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.

BookWritterSummaryWhat did I think of it ?
The Mission, The Men, and MePete BlaberFormer 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 knifeMark MazzettiHow 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 ForEric BlehmThe 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-OneSgt 1st class Frank Antenori and Hans HalberstadtHow 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.

Foreword

After years of posting my nitpicking on cloning real rifles and reenacting specific regiments on multiple social media platforms, it was time that I regroup it all in one place.

You'll find here everything I posted about on my Instagram : clone projects, kits, in the wild spotting and books I've read.

As a bonus, there will be a few complete guides on specific familly of rifles.
