The Savage Wars of Peace, by Max Boot

Boot relates the battles of the past to the world today. It's a great read that starts with the Barbary Pirates and continues through all the undeclared actions, excluding all the major wars except Vietnam, since Boot describes Vietnam as a small war fought from a big war mentaliy. I do like this book and would recommend it.

Also,

Breathless, by Dean Koontz

Not a bad book but over shadowed right now by Boot's.

Recently,I finished Nathan Beford Forrest by Jack Hurst

Great book!!!
