Back in June, 1989, I was a wee lad, a 2dLt with a stack of books for "professional development" that was as tall as I was! One of my favorites is "Defense of Duffer's Drift"...so much so, I used it as the basis for one of the chapters in my first book, "Windows Forensics and Incident Recovery". I enjoyed "Starship Troopers" and even discussed it as a PME session when I was back at TBS as an instructor. "Soldiers Load", Rommel's "Attacks"...some of these I no longer have, but the Commandant's reading list (for me, the Commandant was Al Gray) left an impression on me. The reading program was introduced to me as a young lad (when I was in high school) by my soccer coach, who was a Marine Capt. He gave me a copy of "Once an Eagle", by Anton Myrer...one of the absolute best books I've ever read! Over the years I've added "American Soldier" by Tommy Franks, as well as Musashi's "The Book of Five Rings" to my bookshelf. BTW...I have a copy of "The Bridge at Dong Ha", signed by Col Ripley. When I was an instructor at TBS, his son Tom was a patrol leader on a night security patrol where I was the asst. instructor. I also have "Marine Sniper" signed by Carlos Hathcock before his passing, and I have the "Men of Honor" DVD signed by Carl Brashear before his passing. Great blog!
