Agincourt – Paperback Agincourt: Henry V and the Battle that Made England by Juliet Barker After listening to Bernard Cornwell’s Agincourt […]

War on the Run by John F. Ross Major Robert Rogers has always been an interesting man to discuss while I served in the Army. I never attended Ranger schools or served in Ranger Battalion but I feel as though I understand this unit pretty well. Hundreds of the men I served with were real […]
Bunker Hill A City, A Siege, a Revolution by Nathaniel Philbrick This book fell in place with the previous books I had been reading and I wanted to see what the likes of Israel Putnam and Thomas Gage were acting like now. I also wanted to see more about William Howe and what his thoughts […]
Journals of Robert Rogers of the Rangers by Robert Rogers This book is a great accompaniment to War on the Run. It can definitely be used as a reference and lets you get a feel for the man who was Robert Rogers. It isn’t an easy read but it is more than likely how he […]
A Plain Narrative of the Uncommon Sufferings and Remarkable Deliverance of Thomas Brown of Charlestown, in New England by Thomas Brown I had to read this narrative about one of Robert Rogers’ Rangers who was captured at the Battle of Snowshoes. It is a very short book but written by the boy who was captured. […]
White Devil by Stephen Brumwell If I had never read War on the Run, this would be considered a pretty good book. Since I have read War on the Run this was a less than stellar read. I felt as though the writer sided with Thomas Gage and didn’t call out his poor leadership. It […]
Churchill’s Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Some think 007 is cool, but Jim Bond hasn’t got anything on the real Brits that fought World War II. Churchill’s Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, The Maverick’s who plotted Hitler’s Defeat by Giles Milton is a page turning story of the outside the box thinking that started with Winston Churchill […]

SIG P365 FUSE I have always been a fan of the P365, and truth be told the original P365 is still the absolute best for concealment capability. That being said the larger 365’s have made shooting more enjoyable. I liken this to the days of the J Frame Smith and Wesson, super concealable but hard […]

Kestrel KST 1000 Timer I’ve been through a very large back full of timers, constantly buying new or sending used timers back to have them fixed. No more! The Kestrel KST 1000 has held up to the abuse I throw its way. I probably use a timer more than most as a professional shooting instructor, […]
