ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Erich Maria Remarque This book is about Paul Baumer, who enlists with his classmates in the German army of WWI. Through years of vivid horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principle of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against each other.

TEAM OF TEAMS : NEW RULES OF ENGAGEMENT FOR A COMPLEX WORLD Stanley McChrystal, et al. In this book, McChrystal shows how the military transformed Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in the midst of a grueling war and how similar shifts are possible in all organizations. The best organizations think and act like a team of teams, embracing small groups that combine the freedom to experiment with a relentless drive to share what they've learned. Drawing on a wealth of evidence from his military career, the private sector, and sources as diverse as hospital emergency rooms and NASA's space program, McChrystal frames the existential challenge facing today's organizations, and proposes a compelling, effective solution. THE FACE OF BATTLE John Keegan This book looks at military history from the battlefield and at the direct experience of individuals at the "point of maximum danger." In the author s scrupulous reassessment of 3 battles representative of 3 different time periods, he manages to convey what the experience of combat meant for the participants, whether they were facing the arrow cloud at the battle of Agincourt, the musket balls at Waterloo, or the steel rain of the Somme.
