R150233ZOCT09: Army list updated
I've just added the latest revision to the Army reading list. One I'm looking forward to is Cobra II: The Inside Story of the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq. There's a lot of other good stuff there too; I see Dereliction of Duty is in the Senior Leaders section now. Enjoy!
R260504ZSEP09: Brave Rifles Reading List added
I've added the "Brave Rifles Reading List for Operation Iraqi Freedom" from Headquarters 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment. This list has some you've seen before - e.g., Bernard Lewis' Crisis of Islam - and a bunch of new ones, especially in the Iraq Culture and History section. And Savage Wars of Peace is there, of course!

This is a complete redo of the list; not a single book survived! Max Boot's The Savage Wars Of Peace was added; that book is now on three reading lists: Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. There seems to be a bit more of a focus on high-level thinking with the addition of Gray's Modern Strategy and Drew's Making Twenty-First-Century Strategy. On the "adventure" side of things, Naylor's Not a Good Day to Die: The Untold Story of Operation Anaconda has been added.
R121404ZJAN09: Navy 2009 reading list released!
The 2009 Navy reading list is out!

This is a fairly small revision, with only six books added and five books removed. There are also some reshufflings; for example The Sand Pebbles is now in the "Junior Enlisted" section as well as the "Leading Petty Officer" section. Stephen Ambrose' D Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II is an interesting addition; Ambrose fans may also notice that his Band of Brothers is on both the USMC and Army reading lists.
