Lieutenant

W. E. B. Griffin

Jove, 1986

Excellent military novel (with flaws)
If you want to understand the "culture" of the military, read this book. Then, if you liked it, read the whole "Brotherhood of War" series, of which it is the first book. I spent four years in the Navy (one in Vietnam), but I never really understood the positive side ...

Never Far Apart

Lieutenant Gary

Xlibris Corporation, 2007

From a Military Man's Heart
The illustrations were excellent. I enjoyed the sweet words a military man wrote for his children. I believe the author wrote from his heart. Dianna Wells Shire, author of "The Ordinary Life of a Military Woman".

Chesty: The Story of Lieutenant General Lewis B. Puller, USMC

Jon T. Hoffman

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2002

What is a Marine?
General Puller certainly epitomizes the template for a Marine. The ultimate description of General Puller can be seen in Colonel Hoffman's description when the General entered the movie theatre (courtroom) at Parris Island during the hearings regarding Sgt McKeon and ...

Brotherhood of War: The Lieutenants, the Captains, the Major

W.E.B. Griffin

Putnam Adult, 2001

The Lieutenants, the Captains, the Majors
This was a purchase for my brother-in-law. I read each of these books as they came out and couldn't hardly wait for the next one. I wish that he could write them as fast as I can read them, but I know that is not possible. Every book written by Mr. Griffin is a five ...

Women and the Leadership Q: Revealing the Four Paths to Influence and Power

Shoya Zichy

McGraw-Hill, 2000

Great insight on yourself and others
This book is insightful and fun. It punctures the usual stereotypes about the difference between male and female leaders. It quickly showed me that it was okay to be competitive and task driven. After all, one in every three women is. I wish I had read it 20 years ...

Strangers in Death (In Death)

J.D. Robb

Putnam Adult, 2008

Strangers In Death
Nora Roberts, never let's me down when it come to Eve Dallas. I love how she has let us see her grow into her relationships with Roarke, and the rest of the crew. All I can say if you have not read any of these books go and get them.

Police Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain Promotion Exams

Francis M. Connolly, George J. Mullins

Arco, 2001

Excellent Study Aid
This book is an excellent companion to your study material. The hints they give you are for the "buzz-words" that civil service examiners love to use in test questions. They certainly don't guarantee a correct answer, but when you're stuck, knowing those key words ...

The Lieutenant of Inishmore

Martin McDonagh

Dramatist's Play Service, 2003

Wow.
OK. I think McDonagh is a straight genius. I read this play, because I am currently in The Cripple of Inishmaan(the tame McDonagh play), but only because out director didn't think he could get the rights to this one. But I read this play, and I almost [messed] ...

Lieutenant Hornblower

C.S. Forester

Back Bay Books, 1998

Among the better of the Hornblower books
This is the sixth Hornblower book I've read, although it's only the second in terms of the chronology of Hornblower's naval career. And I must say, it's one of the better books. CS Forester could be a compelling writer, but some of the Hornblower novels feel a little ...

The French Lieutenant's Woman

John Fowles

Back Bay Books, 1998

Fun novel!
This is a good book for anyone who likes self-referential fiction. It's written like a Victorian novel, but with a fantastic modern narrator who plays around with the story in places and laments how difficult it is to write novels. I recommend it particularly to anyone ...

Eisenhower's Lieutenants: The Campaign of France and Germany 1944-1945

Russell F. Weigley

Indiana University Press, 1990

The Best Single Volume History of the NW European Campaign
This book is exactly that as it provides a wealth of detail that others merely gloss over. This book is not a tired recitation of the standard WWII European theatre timeline = D-Day, nothing much, Cobra, Race Across France, nothing much, the Battle of the Bulge, ...

Lieutenant Fury

G.S. Beard

Arrow, 2008

Good series continues
Lieutenant Fury Good continuation of the series. Love interest made the character less believable but shore action was well done.

Lieutenant Nun

Catalina de Erauso, Michele Stepto, ...

Beacon Press, 1997

A Different Conquistador
Catalina de Erauso grew up in a Basque convent, but spent most of her days as a soldier in the Spanish army in the mid-1600s. This brief autobiography is not a typical tale of military exploits. Although brawling constitutes much of the action, this is the story of ...

Havana Black: A Lieutenant Mario Conde Mystery (Mario Conde Mystery 2)

Leonardo Padura

Bitter Lemon Press, 2006

excellent Cuban police procedural
Havana Police Lieutenant Mario Conde just wants to do the right thing on the job though the Party makes that difficult. However, he is irate and bitter over the forced replacement of his professional supervisor by a party hack; he deems the job is not worth the ...

A Chief Lieutenant of the Tuskegee Machine: Charles Banks of Mississippi

DAVID H. JACKSON

University Press of Florida, 2008

Vital to African American studies
Banks is central to various studies: business, Black history, social commentary. He is also cogent to the discussion of banking history.
