Matthew Currier Burden: The Blog of War: Front-Line Dispatches from Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan
(*****)
Henry Adams: Democracy: An American Novel (Modern Library Classics)

Not what I expected from the title, but a great book. Provides a graphic but objective viewpoint of WWII in the pacific. (****)
Anton Myrer: Once an Eagle
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. (****)

Khaled Hosseini: The Kite Runner
A captivating novel through an extraordinary view of Afghanistan under the Soviets and Taliban (****)

Finally finished this one. Took 21 months off and on but worth the effort in the end. I think "haunting" is the best word to describe it. (****)
