ZonieDiver and lrsu both mentioned The Only Thing Worth Dying For on the previous page.
Had the time to devour it yesterday. I believe the goal to honor the fallen was achieved and the goal to keep the book mostly apolitical.
Deep respect for those that died, heartfelt sorrow for the families and fellow soldiers that continue to grieve, and appreciation to those that continue to live with what happened that fateful day.

Richard - Good One.
There also exists a Time or Newsweek from about March or early April 69 that flat blew the cover on all C&C Detachments from name to locations. It went into OPS, Special Commando Units etc. I had just come back from the launch site and CPT Harrison shows me the magazine.

Just finished "Point of Impact" by Stephen Hunter for about the 8th time. It's one of my all-time favorites.
Currently reading Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny".

Andrew Roberts, Masters and Commanders: How Four Titans Won the War in the West, 1941-1945 (ISBN-13 9780061228575).
Mr. Roberts uses archival materials (including illegally kept diaries and meetings notes) that have become available recently to produce a signal work every bit as good as advertised.
A thoughtful, sensitive, yet witty writer, Mr. Roberts addresses in great detail both the history and the historiography of allied strategy during the Second World War.
Unfortunately, Mr. Roberts picked a bad publisher (HarperCollins) for the U.S. edition. The paper is dreadful (i.e. not ANSI Z39.48-1992 [r2002] compliant) and the end notes are sparse. This work should have been published by a university press, ideally Cambridge, with fully-elaborated footnotes.
