This was extremely thought provoking. Great recommendation.

Glad you enjoyed it! I really miss Hitchens.

Guardian Angel - about Pararescue
Gates of fire - steven press field. It’s not a true story but it’s a badass book written from a Spartans perspective

Meditations - Marcus Aurelius. Not about war but it was a journal he wrote to himself and shares a lot of great perspectives on life.

Into Thin Air by John Krakauer about the 1993 Everest Climbing disaster.

One of my all time favorites! There's an entire rabbit hole from here where you can read about the same events from the perspective of several different people. Krakauer makes a Russian climber into sort of a villain, and his book (believe his last name was Boukreev or something?) leads me to believe he wasn't as bad as krakauer makes him out to be.

Keith’s autobiography “Hell, I was there” is a great read as well.

"Kings of Texas", by Don Graham

 

[Beendare]

Worth noting; hopefully everyone knows about the Libby app. Its free, a public library download that gets you kindle or audio books. Some of the popular ones you have to reserve but for a guy like myself that goes through 3 books a week, its awesome.

My latest by John Sanford, “ Dark Angel” is pretty good.
The main character is a Woman bad ass working undercover for one of the 3 letter agencies.

The John Sanford “Prey” series are all good books.

Hard to find but Tony Hillerman wrote a series of books, mysteries with a Navajo sheriff that touches on Indian culture and he relies on his hunting skills ( like tracking) to solve.

Tenderfoot Trapper- by Arthur Catherall

 

[Musky]

I never really did enjoy that much reading, having said that, Danger Stalks the Land by Larry Kanuit peaked my interest. Alaskan tales of survival and death, real stories, some pretty crazy ones.
