The Iron Brigade: A Military History (Great Lakes Connections: The Civil War)

Indiana University Press, 1994

Black Hats and White Gaiters
This is the definitive history of what I consider the best brigade-sized unit in either army during the Civil War. Alan Nolan is THE authority on this famous, hard-hitting outfit and this book is a classic. Interesting, vivid, full of valor, heartbreaking losses, and ...

Kill Me If You Can, You SOB

Bob Miller

Wheatmark, 2007

If Hunter S. Thompson had been a warrant officer...
The more I read of Miller's work, the more I like it. Like HST, Miller is a born curmudgeon, cynic, and rebel. I cracked up when his commander described him as "he'll never make general but he'll get you there and back." No grunt ever had a truer, more unconditional ...

This Little Piggy Went To Prada
First heard about this book when I got one as a gift when pregnant. Very clever adaptations (for the designer conscious) of well known nursery rhymes. Fantastically witty and great buy for a baby shower! I've given one to all my pregnant friends and they LOVED it too!

For anyone who is tired of being boxed in by politically correct society
This book is a catharsis for anyone who feels choked by the confines of political correctness. Dan Dobson can go read any one of the other millions of books out there that are free from material that might offend liberals and self-proclaimed minorities. For the rest of ...

The Brigade: An Epic Story of Vengeance, Salvation, and WWII

Howard Blum, Hardscrabble Entertainment

Harper Perennial, 2002

RICK SHAQ GOLDSTEIN SAYS: STEVEN SPIELBERG SHOULD MAKE A MOVIE FROM THIS! IT WOULD BE BETTER THAN "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN!"
How this book went under the radar is beyond me! Steven Spielberg should make a movie out of this, and it could be better than "Saving Private Ryan"! This is a true story, of the first official Jewish military fighting unit. It was formed, when the British government, ...

Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad

David Zucchino, Mark Bowden

Grove/Atlantic, 2004

You won't be able to put it down
This is hands-down the most compelling book I've read so far on the war in Iraq. It made me late going back to work during several lunch hours because I just couldn't put it down until I finished another chapter. I think too many people have this image of the ...
