The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn
Brings in a lot of information but doesn’t get bogged down.
The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn
The Third Rail
Multiple voices a bit confusing and the story is a bit transparent, but not a bad read overall.
Mountbatten a Biography
Author is a little too close to his subject. A bit of a slog in places.
The Kennedys Amidst the Gathering Storm: A Thousand Days in London, 1938-1940
Author states up front that it is a empathetic, revisionist look at Joe Kennedy as US ambassador to UK. Not sure how these things get published.

The Last Stand of Fox Company: A True Story of U.S. Marines in Combat
well written – hard core
The Last Stand of Fox Company: A True Story of U.S. Marines in Combat
When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead: Useful Stories from a Persuasive Man
Not sure how useful these stories are, but some are entertaining. A little odd that someone so smart, rich and powerful couldn’t write his own book.

The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival
Well written and a real bummer.
The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival (Borzoi Books)
Below Zero
This series has really faded. Title should be the ranking on a scale of 1-10.
Tell no one
Title should be advice of what to do after you finish the book. Embarrassing ending for an author of this caliber.
D Day: The Climactic Battle of World War II
Tries to cover it all, which makes the narrative thin in places. First person accounts are great, along with the maps.
No Second Chance
Ending is a bit weak, but a good read overall.
Blue-Eyed Devil
Moves along. Fades at the end.
Rough Country
Sanford has another winner in Virgil Flowers.
Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle
Covers all the bases. Drags a bit after the fight for Henderson Field.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do the thing and you shall have the power.
Heat Lightning
Chuck Hogan adds an edge to this one. Pretty good.
Abraham Lincoln
Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.
The Dead Hand
Some good parts. Only scratches the surface.
