The 13th Valley by John M. Delvecchio.
Absolutely the best book I have ever read.
This book will get you so involved you will feel the strain and tiredness.

The deaf one said....

"btw lasz, the only reason that i can even respond to this is because someone quoted you. you are still ignored and i never read your posts unless they are copied in on someone else's. i can only imagine what sort of angry, judgemental tripe you are spouting off about today, but im sure it is the same as it ever was. "

Like I even care?  The man not only acts like I could care but seems to think that his being deaf is some sort of punishment for me?   What a strange world he lives in.. He couldn't respond to me so he put plugged his ears and went Naaaaa naaaaaa naaaa and now... he can't resist responding to me when others quote me.  How does that work?  some sort of "ignore" loophole for the terminaly dishonest?

And jb88... the only reason I am able to respond to you is because... well, because I was able to read what you wrote.

And.... the reason I know about the book is because a woman I know who has terrible taste in books loved it,.

The book is better.

I also suggest:

Anna Karenina, Tolstoy for its look into pre revolution Russia

Generation Kill, by a reporter who went in with some Marines during the latest trip to Iraq.

The two historical fiction books about what could've/should've happend at Gettysburg and the aftermath during the Civil War by Newt G.

Enders Game by Orson Scott Card is a very good book.
Speaker For the Dead aint bad either.

Flyboys is excellent for the historical perspective it lays out. The story itself is good, but the author trys his best to put the Japanese pov into a lucid frame for us to view.

Forgotten Soldier is excellent as well, if not totally credible. A good look at war on the eastern front during WWII.

The wife and kid would be sad if I went on a week long bender.

Not to mention I still have over an hour on the train to kill each day.
