I have to say Double Cross by James Patterson. I don't read often, but I'm pretty drawn into this one.

i'm reading tactics for criminal patrol now (instead of buying a used copy for $90 i found a copy with my local library), definitely a good book and very informative.

Speaking of Remsberg, his new book Blood Lessons, has very narrowly replaced On Combat as my favorite book. Unfortunately, I loaned it to a coworker before I could read it through again.

trust me this copy looks like its never been opened before, i'm halfway tempted to not return it and pay the restocking fee just to get a copy of it. I already own the other 2 in the series, which i bought used for about $30 each. I have seen people offer box sets for sale for around $150 on other websites. Originally Posted by Creeker

I want to add another. Bravo Two Zero, great true story about desert storm and what went on behind enemy lines. Its about a small special forces unit. There was a cheesy movie made of it, but the book owns it.

That's a great one. I also really enjoyed Band of Brothers. My favorite LE book so far, is Under and Alone by William Queen. That guy has some STEEL cajones! Originally Posted by histfan71

I was just disturbed to discover that Tony Hillerman died last week.
I've been getting into his Novels lately, and have read 5 of them this year.
I guess I'll have to read the other 14.
They all take place on the Navajo Reservation around 4-Corners, and since I've been reading them, I've been dying to go back to find out if the Navajo mannerisms he writes about are halfway accurate.My Inalienable Rights were given to me by God and NOT by the Government.

Mine's probably either "Predator" by Patricia Daniels Cornwell (fiction) or "Why They Kill" by Richard Rhodes (social science)
Good books
