evidence in the ocean... well, whether they threw it in or not doesn't matter
pretty sure that those team guys (or deltas, depending on the truth) all lined up and mag dumped into him. can't show a body with 300 bullet holes in it on tv.

I couldn't get through the first chapter. The dude might be one of America's top soldiers, but he writes like an edgy, barely literate teenager.

"Inside Delta Force" is a better book for this kind of genre. I like older historical books. I found "1453" to be a really readable and badass book about the fall of Constantinople.

If you want some shit to just laugh at, read the "Going Home" series of books. It's clearly written by an author who fetishizes the military without knowing a thing about it. The main character is basically a self insert who teams up with Special Forces to fight FEMA New World Order takeover after an EMP. I'd never pay for these books though, just check them out or read them at a store.

Non-fiction/non-narrative, read instructionals by Kyle Lamb.

do you just want mil related books Op? or books in general ?

Rob Krott's "Save the Last Bullet for Yourself" is quite good, despite the title. Rob's a great man, and I even have a brief mention! Ken Connor's "Ghost Force" is another excellent example of a great man writing a good book with a silly name.

Aside from that, obituaries are interesting and tend to drag you into more niche topics and areas of interest. The Times Newspaper published one of British obituaries, which is a fine read. Simon Murray's "Legionnaire" is the only good English language book on the French Foreign Legion out there, even if it is dated. I also enjoyed and would recommend "The Young Officer's Book Club".

Academic stuff is fine, too, but it tends to age quite quickly and until relatively recently most war and security studies stuff was very narrow. I contributed to a number of volumes and reviews and you could probably get more from Wikipedia and the internet these days. We were compiling cutting edge information at the time, which just shows you how rapidly things change.

Any of the spotters/reference guides are worth picking up if you're interested in practical knowledge, or at least building a good base of it. Janes' used to make some good ones.

Dalton Fury honestly provides far more insightful look into the life and structure of Delta than Haney. Let's also not forget how Haney embellished a lot and even went as far to claim he was a co-founder of the unit.

In fairness to him, that may be a publishing thing. I'm named as being something I'm not in a book. It's not a big error, but it's had a few questions come up from time to time. Publishers and ghost writers get things wrong, as do researchers.

If he made false claims that's down to him but if it's just false information appearing next to his name, then it might be out of his hands.

I read Lone Survivor. The movie is okay but the book really captures your emotions. Despite what some of you keyboard warriors may think of that wholeoperation, I guarantee you would never be half the man Marcus Luttrell is in a hundred life times.

As for American Sniper, I thought Chris Kyle came off as sort of an arrogant prick but I like the fact that he put that scraggly fucking bald bastard Ventura in his place. Respect nonetheless. I recommend both

Erik Prince is a very strange man and despite his considerable business acumen, I wouldn't take him seriously on anything else. He came up on my radar years ago, when a company I was working for had received contact from him. Blackwater were looking to get into the art recovery world. I wouldn't say he was an outright liar, but he certainly implied a lot of things that weren't the case.

Shortly after, 9/11 happened so Blackwater (and pretty much everyone else) got on that bandwagon. It was around that time that he stopped alluding toward working for the CIA.

Hell of a businessman but if he told me it was raining outside I'd have stuck my arm out to check.

I've been doing some research on him as of late out of curiosity. I wonder at times if the fiasco wasn't orchestrated from outside the country. There are some connections to his family and current high charged political tragedies from a certain mindset p.o.v.'s, I would say unique over strange. I'll take your word as you say it Sir Anon.

I think most of it comes from SEALS(for the most part) don't into infantry line unit tactics easily. They have a specialized roll that they perform exceptionally well. An army point of view on it has Scuba school along with other specialized schools such as MFF, SOTIC to name a couple. At the end of the day everyone has their own techniques and they all stink to paraphrase a bit.

it was okay, if anything it mostly reinforced that leading commandos is mostly staying at the base

his fiction series was entertaining

>>35154331
Fiction series is top tier, his final, posthumous, book just got released a week ago. It's pretty good. He also put a lot of neat little details regarding Delta throughout the books.

>>35154338
yup
the way he ended it seemed a little abrupt though. felt like he had a plan for another sequel in the works and it got cut short by cancer

still i was really pleasantly surprised at how good it was. he definitely improved a lot as a writer throughout his series

Well it's more or less a spy novel at its core. The final book, that is.
Going into it from the previous two was a bit different. Those two books gave me a major little bird fetish.
