from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.87
Customer Review:
Amidst the smoke and karaoke crooning of New Year's Eve, a friend and I got to talking about trauma. I'm a US Navy veteran; I never killed, but I served in war zones and as a police officer. Her eyes gleamed as she recommended a book--Dave Grossman's *On Killing*.
Lt Colonel Grossman, retired,... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Picador
Customer Review:
Perhaps it should surprise me less that locales once mauled by basest violence are often grotesquely tranquil: the soothing splash of waves at the D-Day beaches of Normandy; silently drifting snow flakes settling in a white shroud over Auschwitz, Majdanek, and Treblinka; flowers, flags and cold... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

This book is about a "secret" government agency called the Activity that has supposedly been involved with or behind a number of covert or clandestine missions for the past 40 years.
