Two Recommended Books - Iraq War and AGW
Two outstanding (IMO) books:
Moment of Truth in Iraq: How a New 'Greatest Generation' of American Soldiers is Turning Defeat and Disaster into Victory and Hope by Michael Yon and The Deniers: The World Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud**And those who are too fearful to do so by Lawrence Solomon

Both books I would never read because they sound like propaganda.

Weren't you the one hiding sources for fear of having the information immediately discounted? And now you're rejecting books based on how they "sound"?

 Yep...according to some people any written material that casts a positive light on our soldiers must be "propaganda" that is not worth reading!  Frank
