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)
