Some Recommended Reading:

The Gift of Valor – My brother wrote it, but this isn’t nepotism.  His book is an absolute classic of war journalism.  Whatever your views about the Iraq war, this book will make you feel what it’s like to fight in it.  It’s the extraordinary story of Medal of Honor winner, US Marine Corporal Jason Dunham, but it’s also about what it means to fight, sacrifice, and die in war. 

I’ve blurbed the following books, and I always mean it.  These are all great contemporary novels:

An Evening of Long Goodbyes by Paul Murray

Indecision by Benjamin Kunkel

Tearjerker by Daniel Hayes

Last One In by Nick Kulish

Serena by Ron Rash

and non-fiction:

The Ballad of the Whiskey Robber by Julian Rubinstein

Prisoner of Trebekistan by Bob Harris, author of the useful Who Hates Whom.

Freud’s Requiem by Matthew von Unwerth

The House at Sugar Beach by Helene Cooper
