This is a 5 star book squeezed into a tiny, tiny paperback. Do NOT buy this edition... the print is impossibly small...I returned it immediately.

| 4. Don't Know Much About History: Everything You Need to Know About American History but Never Learned | 
|
By: Kenneth C. Davis
Publisher: Avon Books
September 07, 1999
This was a book that I had to read and write about for AP US History.
It provides a very good introduction to American History.
In my opinion,
without a solid foundation,
you'll never do as well as you could if you did.
So far,
I'm doing extremely well in the class.
A first semester and striving for another in second semester.
(A good book... more

| 5. Counterinsurgency Lessons from Malaya and Vietnam: Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife |
|
By: John A. Nagl
Publisher: Praeger Publishers
October 30, 2002
The author review military doctrine in dealing with local insurgencies. He compares the British experience in Malaysia and the American experience in Viet Nam. The focus on the book is in describing a "learning organization." This is one that adapts and learns; that evolves to meet new challenges. While this applies in combat, it also has value in all organizations that deal with challenges. more

My set which I own contain 3 volumes also. The thing is though I compared how many pages this 3 volume set that's being offered here has (500+) and my volumes are well over 1000-1400 pages. So what I'm trying to say is there are complete 3 volume sets, just make sure you check how many pages per volume are offered... more

| 9. The End of History and the Last Man |
|
By: Francis Fukuyama
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd
January 28, 1993
There are already many good reviews so I will only suggest reading the following books (whose scope is amazingly global) instead of, or in addition to, Fukuyama's peculiar work: 1) Economy: 1.1 "Power and Plenty: Trade, War, and the World Economy in the Second Millennium" by Ronald Findlay and Kevin H. O'Rourke; 1.2 and 1.3: "The world economy. A millennial perspective" (2001) plus "The world economy... more

By: Michael Volkin
Publisher: Savas Beatie
2007-04
Just FYI: I haven't been to basic training yet, so I won't be able to 'properly' review this until I return.
Based on what I've read, I feel that this book is an adequate guide for anyone who's planning on shipping out to boot camp. The information provided is useful, covering things from the military phonetic alphabet to how to stand at attention. However it's missing some things that... more
