The mother of all reading lists: Some other suggestions for your beach reading


Just to make sure you don't get bored over the summer, here
are some other military history reading lists for you:



Rep. Ike Skelton's overview list.



Ten of my own favorites (the list would be a bit different
now -- in part because of the interesting comments on this post).



A Pentagon reading list.



A reading list from Guantanamo Bay detainees.



A pre-deployment list for platoon leaders going to
Afghanistan.



My list for a friend deploying to Afghanistan:



The 101st Airborne's list for Afghanistan.



And the 10 best post-deployment books.



Here's my list of what to read if you are a civilian going
to work at the Pentagon. 



But if you really want to have a fun summer, here is a
reading list on terrorism:



Here's one on COIN:



One on intelligence.



Here's D'Este's besties on WWII:



A "gun nut's" list.



A unusual Vietnam War list.



Adm. Stavridis' list of fiction (20 novels).



This guy also has some better suggestions near the end of
his interview.



For real obscurity, a Tory's reading list.



To top it off, here are some roundups I did of reading
lists:



One -- and two.



And yet another one.



And a study of the solder's load!



For a change, here is a list of books I never finished:



Since then, to my regret, I finished The Education of Henry Adams -- one of
the most overrated books I've ever read, along with Liddell Hart's Strategy.



And a list of books about Iraq to avoid.



Finally, once you get tired of reading, here is a list of
terrific war movies.
