Almost 2.5 million Americans have served in Afghanistan or Iraq since September 11, 2001. C.J. Chivers has reported from both…
fronts from the beginning, walking side by side with combatants for more than a dozen years. He describes the experience of war today as it is endured by those most at risk-the camaraderie and profound sense of purpose, alongside courage, frustration, and moral confusion mixed with technical precision. In these remote places where the reason for their presence is sometimes not clear, these young men kill or are killed, facing palpable and often constant threat of ambush or hidden bombs. They repeatedly return, rushing toward danger, often to rescue the wounded in wars that escalate around them as the Pentagon changes doctrines and plans. Weaving a history of the war through troops' experiences, the characters in The Fighters climb into an F-14 cockpit for the opening strikes after the attacks of 9/11, hunt for Osama bin Laden along the Pakistani border, chase insurgent rocket teams with helicopters alongside American bases, face snipers in a hostile city in Anbar Province in Iraq, and engage in deadly counterguerilla warfare in the soaring mountains of the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan. Some suffer terribly. All are changed. They return home, uncertain of their place in the world and what their wars have achieved. 2018.

Some passages were even omitted by accident. Here Dr. Joel M. Hoffman gives us the stories and other texts that didn't make it into the Bible. 2014.

A biography of Major General Sir Isaac Brock, describing his life, career, and legacy, particularly in the Canadas, and the…
context within which he lived. An unlikely hero of the War of 1812, he was admired by his American foes almost as much as by his own people. Even more striking was how a British general whose military role in that two-and-a-half-year war lasted less than five months became its best known hero, and one revered far and wide. 2011.
