The Rommel Papers is pretty good so far. I'll also recommend The Silent War and Dereliction of Duty.

>No "The Gun" by CJ Chivers
Should've been before Grim Reaper.
Grim Reaper is more of a technical book with some knowledge interspersed.

Now that I look at your list better it seems they're all somewhat technical books.
Are you an engineering major by chance?

>>34550861
If you're up for some light fantasy and easy reading, not hard /k/, then Leviathan seems to be universally loved here. You can get the whole trilogy epubs for free.

>>34550861
Ones that can stop a .50.

>Everybody answers questions from spetsnaz. There are no exceptions. I have been asked how long a very strong person can hold out against questioning by spetsnaz, without replying to questions. The answer is: one second. If you don't believe this, just try the following experiment. Get one of your friends who considers himself a strong character to write on a piece of paper a number known only to himself and seal the paper in an envelope. Then tie your friend to a post or a tree and ask him what number he wrote on the paper. If he refuses to answer, file his teeth down with a big file and count the time. Having received the answer, open the envelope and check that he has given you the number written on the paper. I guarantee the answer will be correct.

R.P. Hunnicutt's books on US tanks are quite excellent but like most reference books are quite pricey
They're currently doing a reprinting so get them quick

JFC Fuller's Conduct of War.
On a lighter (...) note, Sven Hassel novels.
Oh, and Shibumi.

Spice and Wolf is a must read for any aspiring /k/ommandant.

Does anyone have recommendations for some modern military novels that aren't retarded? I'd like to read some books that are fairly believable when it comes to warfare.

Holy shit, the once circled here is mine. I took that pic when I lived with my parents and I moved out of there like seven years ago. That's an ancient pic of mine that I forgot existed. Thanks for posting this and reminding me about it m8

Good lad. My pic isn't even on the collage.

Tom Clancy novels are fun but there's very little character development in Rainbow Six.

It definitely spawned some dope-ass games, though.

>>34556060
>>34555851

Weebs shouldn't be allowed to own weapons.

>>34556133
I think Clancy had trouble writing characters in general. Especially women.

>>34556161

His depiction of the dame in "Without Remorse" was pitiful, but... I forgave it in favor of the main character's badassery

>>34553300
That book is really bad. I'm not talking about the politics, I mean it's just a very poorly written book.

>>34555828
Yes, Tom Clancy is garbage. I bet you like Dan Brown novels too.

>>34556173

It's a white nationalist's wet dream. It's probably the biggest waste of time I've ever spent on reading anything.

>>34556183

Neither author is as bad as you're trying to make them out to be. Stop being so salty, /k/ompadre.

>>34556183
Haven't even read any.

>>34556154
Luckily it's not for you to decide who gets to own guns and who doesn't.

I just bought two of those books last week.

>>34550861
Not /k/, but I'll recommend No More Mr Nice Guy to just about any man below the age of 30 or so.

>>34557883

i really want to get the FAL tome from Collector Grade Publications but it is quite expensive as well as the shipping
