Another must read. Great writing and perspectives from both sides of several conflicts. Timeless lessons. (*****)
Sean Naylor: Not a Good Day to Die : The Untold Story of Operation Anaconda
Terrific book. A well written, objective, inside account of Operation Anaconda. Great leadership lessons inside fantastic portrayals of both valor and incompetence. (****)
