Required Reading from the School House
Ron,
I purchased the Black Swan, but haven't started it. Also ordered the Walid Phares book - The Confrontation.
A few that we've had to read that were well worth reading:
Shattered Sword - The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway (Parshall and Tully)
Emergence (Steven Johnson)
Making Things Work - Solving Complex Problems in an Complex World (Yanner Bar Yam)
I just couldn't get past the first 100 pages of "I told you so; there are bad Islamists who are paying Universities and media outlets who are lulling you to sleep so Radical Islam can drink your childrens' blood" at the beginning.
I'm sure there is a thesis in there, but after the first 100 pages, I realized I had more important things to read....
thanks for the heads up on the others
Ill look into them

The Echo of Battle
Is anyone else reading Brian Linn's The Echo of Battle: the Army War of War? I'm over a hundred pages and finally have an answer as to why, with all the US Army's experience fighting "small wars" there was no one writing about them, and putting the lessons into its doctrine.
Perhaps, there is an Air Force parallel book hatching in my brain....
