Good subject, P-Warrior. I'll second the Ayoob book and add Jeff Cooper's "Principles of Personal Defense." My brother-in-law gave it to me and it is great. To add a book that's somewhat outside the topic, check out "About Face" by David Hackworth. Hack was a 15 year old orphen who joined the army just after the end of WWII. He fought in Korea and Viet Nam. He talks a lot about the difference between the warriors who protect us and the pencil-pushers who all too often call the shots. I guess you could look at it as the difference between the Clinton administration :barf: and our current leaders

Great book - the guy is a living history lesson!
