Commandants Reading List

[kbs95125]

Has anybody read any of the books of the Commandants reading list?

Just wondering if anybody had any opinions on which ones to read first, skip reading, ect.

I have First to Fight about half way done, so far so good.

I also just purchased

On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace

and

On Killing

both by Lt Col. David Grossman

and

Tactics of the Crescent Moon: Militant Muslim Combat Methods

Opinions on any of these either?

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

One of the first books I read on the CMC's reading list. Still one of my top favorite books ever read.

LtCol Grossman's books are excellent. I have also met the man and he is a dynamic speaker as well. Police use-of-force is my research specialty and I use Grossman's material a lot for his take on things and for research leads.

My two cents Marine. Read them all, place them in your butt pack to supplement your experience. (not literally, figuratively).

YOU will know which ones are worth the read and which ones aren't. They were added to the list for a reason.

Dr. Grossman's books are definitely A+ reads.
