becks new book, arguing w/ idiots is a good, quick, and easy read.
Levin's, conservative manifesto was also good and probably more suited for a real reader (beck's book is like his show, crazy, informative, and ADD) also a good one my gf's dad got me was Presidential Courage by Michael Beschloss. if he also likes history i would suggest this one. very interesting on the trials and tribulations which presidents when through. i think he would like it. |

Has he ever read Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States"? It's a different take on the main stream versions.

CAPSTICK as suggested above. All the "Death in...." series. Simply outstanding. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=capstick&x=0&y=0
I just finished "Patriots" by Rawles, outstanding! http://www.amazon.com/Patriots-Surviving-James-Wesley-Rawles/dp/156384155X Has he read Clancy? Tons of gold there, just pick one. |

Since this is a gun board how about Hatchers Notebook? It's pretty technical but has facinating info and insights from Hatcher who was an army ordnance officer from before WWI through WWII.
