Military Flight Aptitude Tests, 6/e (Arco Military Test Tutor)
Wiener
Arco, 2004
Great Tool
Used this to prep for the AFAST. It was spot on in and I would recommend it to anyone who is going to take the test. However, you will also need to find another source to study for the helicopter section.

Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster
Jon Krakauer
Anchor, 1999
Who's got more credibility?
It's interesting to read all of the articles criticizing Jon Krakauer, saying he painted himself in a heroic light, that his book is a giant ego trip, and that Anatoli Boukreev's book is so much more accurate. Many of these so called experts seem to assume that the ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday, 2008
A Book for the Intellectually Honest Seeking Truth About American History
It is very unfortunate that people use the review process to attack a book which they are very unlikely to have read. It is always fascinating that the very same people who so often lecture to all of us about "tolerance" are the least so. It is particularly bothersome ...

Definitely the Right Stuff
This book is one of the best accounts of, indeed any scene, I have ever read. Wolfe, with his half academic half layman writing style, explores the men and indeed the whole phenomenon, that was the American space program in the 50ies and 60ies. In a delightful manner ...
