The Principles of Effortless Power by Peter Ralston. Internal martial arts stuff that describes energy concepts and things like ki yin yang without using those terms. Fascinating stuff for anyone interested in or practices internal arts.

Also that book I mentioned I was reading on SAS? Fighting Tactics of the SAS, I think it was called. The title was a bit misleading. The book hardly mentioned the SAS at all, but did draw on a large number of historical special ops missions, both friendly and those of enemies to illustrate its sub chapters. Its chapters and sub chapters were quite interesting and featured such concepts as orginization, planning, hydro recon, recon, espionage, tracking, insertion and extraction, RPs, LUPs, land nav, and quite a slew of other topics were briefly explored. And like I said, with very little mention of the SAS, but instead mention of a large number of other elite units and past operations. I was pleasently surprised. Would have liked it just as much if it was solely SAS, however the inclusion of other forces added to its depth.

EDIT: SAS Fighting Techniques Handbook, by Terry White. Loaned it to a friend, so had to look back at my previous post.
