Good Books
 
I got the idea from a thread on another forum and wanted to see what books you all recommend. Most of the ones I have read are all military/leadership related. Just trying see what everone else is reading.

Sleeping with the Devil (How Washington sold our soul for Saudi Crude) and See No Evil both by Robert Baer. Both great books on CIA operations written by a Ex-CIA operative.

I just finished None Braver by Micheal Hirsh. A great book about USAF Pararesue Jumpers in the war on terror. It has some amazing stories of some operations that went on during the war. After reading this you will know why PJ's should never pay for a drink!

Band of Brothers is another great one.

I would recommend Ender's Game. It's about super smart kids who are taken to a military training center in space and are trained to defend against the next alien invasion fleet...
