What to buy to round-out a library..

Gentlemen,

I need some advice on what purchases to make to round-out my library of books and films. This library will be kept in my office at work, but will be accessible to my co-workers and to the students attending our course. The topics should be related to rescue, medevac, and special tactics/ PJ's as this will be the focus of the course we will be teaching.

I have read and re-read the "What are you reading now" and the "Good SF Movies" threads looking for suggestions. Just looking for more.

I would greatly appreciate your inputs and suggestions for movies and books to add.

Here is the current list of acquisitions:

FILM:
The Green Berets
Blackhawk Down
The Devils Brigade
BAT 21

BOOKS:
Not a Good Day to Die
The Only Thing Worth Dying For
COBRA II
On Killing
On Combat
Get Selected
The Bear Went Over The Mountain
the Other Side of The Mountain
Yoni's Last Battle
Robert's Ridge
Blackhawk Down
Bulletproof
Hidden Iran


Thank you for your inputs.

Cake

I'd start with a good dictionary.
