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 […]

The Great Game by Peter Hopkirk After a day of range and CQB training with some of America’s finest we headed to a little greasy diner to get chow. Both men who were seated at my table had a wide level of experiences, in service and out. One had returned from a fight camp in […]
