Some of my Favourite Books
Thanks for the Column Craig lv29
Some of my favourite Books
The Jungle is Neutral. (Col Spencer Chapman): Its all about your attitude
The Long Walk - (Slavomir Racwiz) Could u walk out of Siberia, thru the Gobi desert & over the Himalaya's into India.
The Gulag Archipelago ( Alexander Solzenitstein). This is why you/we should be armed & ready.
The Naked Island (Russell Brandon). "Beautifully" written account of being a Japanese P.O.W.
The Reason Why (Cecil Woodham-Smith) Story of charge of the Light Brigade. Takes long to get to the point, but then that is the "reason". Excellent.
Urban Survival (Ragnar Benson) Good advice. Ask anybody living in Zimbabwe.
To Ride Shoot Straight & Speak the truth (Col Jeff Cooper) Practical & eloquent essays on things "gunsite forum members" enjoy.
The Forgotten Soldier (Guy Sajer) War is not fun. To be an infantryman on the eastern front even less so. Good Story.
Art of the rifle. (Col Jeff Cooper). Good!
More to follow.....

Re: Some of my Favourite Books
Generation Kill - Evan Wright: series on mnet now, good watch & excellent read.
ABC's of Reloading - Dean A. Grinnell: good reading, taught me a lot about reloading.Prone to random kindness, lecherous behaviour, imitating D-cups at speed and an outstanding sense of humour. If you don't agree, well fuck you.

Re: Some of my Favourite Books
John S. Farnam - The Farnam Method of Defensive Handgunning (essential reading for anyone that carries or intends carrying a handgun for self-defense)
Massad Ayoob - Stressfire, Vol. 1: Gunfighting for Police: Advanced Tactics and Techniques (this book has probably saved a lot of lives)
Craig T. Boddington - Make It Accurate: Get the Maximum Performance from Your Hunting Rifle (for both first time hunters and old, reading this should yield more venison in the freezer)
Jared M. Diamond - Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies (answers some of those nagging and often politically incorrect questions about why the world and its people look and act the way they do)
Noam Chomsky (reading any of his books will be like turning a light in your brain on and may just leave you feeling a little bit nervous about 9/11, global superpowers and how the world ticks)
Somchem Reloading Powders Manual (the Bible)

Re: Some of my Favourite Books
Terror at Beslan by John Giduck (if you want to know what really happened at Beslan this is the only book I know of that will tell you...in detail...you will never be the same after you read it)
On Killing by Dave Grossman (a bit over the top on the video game analogy IMO but a very good and thought provoking read...especially so if you carry or own a gun for self defense)
Run Fast, Bite Hard!
