Suggested Reading
I'm looking for some good current military books with a bit of a story behinde them. I just got done reading two books that I highly recommend to anyone enjoying PR.
Roughneck Nine-One by Sgt. 1st Class Frank Antenori The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell - Can't remember the author Shooter - Gunnery Sgt. Jack Coughlin, USMC All three revolve around the soliders' tour in Iraq and aren't politically motivated either way. I'm not interested in books that are PRO / Against Bush, or the reasons why we went. But about the soliders experience. |

Who Dares Wins - Tony Geraghty
but the story is the true story of the SAS However, it is not contemporarised at all and for interest's sake : the Regiment bought a couple of thousand copies when it was published. ___ |

Yeah One Bullet Away and Generation Kill are fantastic reads. I'd add The Iraq War to that list, really good clinical look at the war without political BS.

Rainbow Six - Tom Clancy "The best thing in a terrorist mind is a 10 mm hollow point bullet." - R6
It may be fictious but it is an awesome book. Tom Clancy has also done many non-fiction novels on the Army, Marines, Navy, ect. |
 [KTA] is currently recruiting! Steven Colbert, when asked on his show what his Iq was replied with a very straight-forward answer, it was, " I know what my IQ is, I got an A, 95!"

coughlin's book has raised a bit of controversy in the USMC S/S crowd, it was a good read, but that makes me a bit skeptical when other snipers are claiming he's full o shit
