Books

please

mostly Tom Clancy books, they're pretty gud. I have the american sniper book, it was pretty gud too... (plz no bulli)

Killing pablo is kinda like eating feces.
Well, what i mean is, alot of faggot americans and faggot dea government spooks wanted pablo dead for getting their disgusting roast beef vagina daughters hooked on cocaine.
These faggot gov people were angry because they wanted to fuck their daughts BEFORE they became roast beef labia whores, and they missed their opportunity. And these dea gov fags eat feces on the reg.
So, there ya go. The book shouldve been called, "killing pablo and masticating fecal matter: its the same thing"
By faggot mcfagerson.

Storm of Steel and Poilu are good.

>mostly Tom Clancy books, they're pretty gud
Clancy's been going downhill his whole career. He never should have moved away from writing naval combat.

Rule of thumb for Clancy: if it's not a Harpoon AAR, it's mediocre at best.


Real suggestions:
Literally everything by Forsyth
Red Phoenix by Larry Bond
Horatio Hornblower, because most of /k/ seems to think warfare started in 1900 given their book recs

Relentless Strike was really good.

Covers the SpecOps side of GWOT. So lots of neat stories. Very gripping read and very well organized.

Robert Oneil's "The Operator" was also a lot of fun. Some overlap with parts of Relentless Strike (you'll say, oh yeah, I heard of parts of this b4). But he does a good job of introducing you to the people and he drops neat bits of info about the other non-seal teams.

>Relentless Strike

That's at the top of my want list, I'll have to get it now. If you haven't read Delta Force by Colonel Beckwith I would definitely read that. Goes in to the politics of creating a new army unit

>>34399312
Relentless is good.

I did read Haney's Delta Force. Pretty good book. I'm gonna check out Killing Pablo

Relentless discusses some of that operation action. I'm actually super surprised at how much info is in Relentless. For all the talk about No Easy Day exposing classified info, it comes nowhere near as close as relentless in the sense (not of being classified) but of "wow I had no idea the US was doing that."

Written by an Air Force officer that helped with planning the Iran Hostage Rescue Mission, its amazing they made it as far as they did before disaster stuck. This failure was the genesis of USSOCOM.

Sucks you can't get psychical copies for a reasonable price but you can find the pdf on google. Quick read but really awesome none the less.

Thanks for the recommendations. Would anyone happen to have any good readings on Mexican civil war, revolution or any other rebellions?

Also anyone happen to know what type of hat they are wearing in the cover of killing pablo?

He really hits rock bottom around 2013. Everything since has been a ghost of his former prowess.

If I had a better scanner I would scan that and several of the other SR71 books I have personally signed by a former pilot who is a family friend.

>tfw he has a terminal illness and wont be around much longer

Get that friend of yours that has a nice camera, go visit the man and have him tell his stories on video. Wanted to do that for gramps and i missed my window.

>>34399199
Reading this now. I highly recommend The Savage Wars of Peace, Invisible Armies, and War Made New. All are by Max Boot the first two are about peacekeeping/insurgency the last is about the evolution of military technology.

I would HIGHLY recommend starship troopers by Heinlein. The book is great and much better than the movie.

Also the Anabasis by Xenophon and The Gallic Wars by Caesar are classics and everyone should read them

I like reading but the only specifically war/action book I've ever enjoyed was The Ezekiel Option.
My older brother was big into Tom Clancy and the like, but I always thought they weren't very good literature.

>>34402754
Bug Hunt would have been a much more fitting title for the movie. I love the movie, don't get me wrong, but the book was much better. The movie also left out the skinnies and did not show the mobile infantry in their armored suits.
>Mobile Infantry
>March into battle on foot

Excellent book and imho, a must read for anyone who conceal carries or is looking into doing it.

First half of the book deals in software, mindset, criminal behavior, details and statistics of shootings that students of the author were in. The second half deals in hardware, ammunition, holsters, guns, etc.

Tom Givens is a phenominal instructor and to this date, he has nearly ~70 students that were in gunfights with all of them being successful but 3 that did not have a gun on them at the time.

Is that a ghostwriter joke?

>>34399715
>Michael Mann
>New Vietnam War series
If he successfully pulls this off it will be the fucking bomb

I just finished All Lines Black, the new tie-in novella before the last Dalton Fury's book comes out later this year. Its just as good as the previous 4 books, fictional Delta dudes doing cool delta stuff, written by a real-life Unit commander.

Currently reading The Red Circle by Brandon Webb (SAR dude becomes a SEAL, then goes on to become a seal sniper cadre member, completely redesigning the obsolete course and going on to train Chris Kyle's generation).

>>34399081
This is a top tier book, its insane what those Loach crews used to do, absolutely badass.

My personal favourite

a really great book about vietnam is "nam" by mark baker. its a collection of stories from people who lived through it and how they lived once they got back.
if you know someone who was fucked by the war, its an interesting and insightful read. do recommend
