Cannonball! by Brock Yates The Emma Gees A Rifleman Went to War The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II Rifleman Went To War.... Read it. GREAT book. The Emma Gees seems similar. Probably on my next order. I greatly believe that the military keeps fucking up, by forgetting lessons learned by deeming them irrelevant. If you can learn ONE thing that translates into making yourself better at fighting in a modern age, from something 100 years ago, it is worth it. |

Just wanted to say that "Strong on Defense: Survival Rules to Protect you and your Family from Crime - Sanford Strong " is fucking legit. Reading those real horror stories and how to get your mindset on has definitely helped my own. Good choice. |

Dear Leader looks like it may be a good insight to a potential future ground war enemy. |

I greatly believe that the military keeps fucking up, by forgetting lessons learned by deeming them irrelevant. If you can learn ONE thing that translates into making yourself better at fighting in a modern age, from something 100 years ago, it is worth it. In that case you would probably enjoy The Social History of the Machine Gun. "Mr. Ellis has written a most unusual book. His thesis contends that the invention of the machine gun and the failure of the military to recognize it significance in the decades leading up to WWI, considering it useful only against tribesmen and other "primitives", led directly to the horrific slaughter of WWI and the static warefare of the trenches. He looks in depth at the military subculture of Victorian England and how it was incapable of recognizing the significance of the machine gun-and those who attempted to place the weapon into the British Army's scheme of things were sanctioned and gagged. When we finally get to the chapter on WWI it is akin to reading one of Shakespear's tragedies. The inevitability of the butchery is made all that more terrible by the knowledge that the deliberite myopia of the British and French higher command ensured that their troops used outmoded tactics against emplaced German forces and their Maxim guns.

Another good one that I'm just finishing is "Rise of The Warrior Cop" by Radley Balko.
It details how we went from a basically polite society to an overwhelming police state. |
