Customer Review:
A Long Way Gone is a memoir of Ishmael Beah's days as a child soldier in Sierra Leone. Some reviewers have questioned the accuracy of the details...I read this book with an open mind, realizing that this book details the author's memories of the events he experienced as a child soldier.

| 3. |  | Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army
from Serpent's Tail
Customer Review:
This book doesn't even pretend to be objective. Scahill obviously has a serious hate-on for all private military contractors (Blackwater especially). This is the "in" thing right now. It's cool to hate on these guys, and Scahill's looking to make his mark as the coolest. So what if his research,... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Simon & Schuster Audio
Customer Review:
I first got into Band of Brothers (BoB) after the DVD set was released. But I decided I wanted to read the book version to get more of the details (and there is A LOT left out). However, I picked up the audio version so I could listen to in during my commute to and from work. And it REALLY passes... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.87
Customer Review:
Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's On Killing is a phenominal work. It serves to blatantly scrutinize one of our society's biggest blind spots and social taboos: killing. Everything our society thinks it knows about wartime combat is fundamentally flawed; our conception of the righteous (or less so) soldier... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Inside Delta Force
from Bantam Press
Customer Review:
Shame on you Haney for blaming the Navy for that Desert 1 fiasco. There should have been Army mechanics servicing those choppers, not Navy guys who had never seen a sand filter before, after all not much sand when flying over water.For the casual reader, those were new helicopters with just enough... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I read his two other books and found them to be amazing. I can't express just how poignant his work has been to the development of my inner qualities and refinement of my persona.

| 9. | ![]() | With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa
from Presidio Press
Customer Review:
There are so many reasons to pan a book like this, writting, viewpoint, historical accuracy, but this book gets 5 stars in all catagories. So true, so full of action, so sad, so much to say. My true interest lies on the Eastern Front between Germany and Russia, but this was so good it is my favorite... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | The Art of War
from Delta
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
The Art of War is overrated in relation to more recent works, notably The Prince, On War, and The Book of Five Rings, and many Roman and Greek texts could be mentioned, for differing reasons.
The Prince was written during the tumult of the cultural and linguistic formation of early Italy (as... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
