One for @DA SWO if he hasn't already read the book.

I'm only a a few dozen pages into the book (or whatever the Kindle version works out to) and it is pretty good. It has a bunch of weather stuff, but some hurricane history, TTP's of the hurricane hunters, and is going into the bios of the crew members. Not a bad book and something off the beaten path for me.

Funny you mention that, I was just about to hit the button on this book of his:

A friend gave me Bill O'Reilly's, Killing Reagan - The violent assault the change the presidency
Anyone's here read it? We are car shopping this weekend so I will probably be able to knock it out by Monday. I'll offer a general review after I'm done.

Don't really like Bill O"Reilly, but his Killing books are pretty damn good.

Yeah, I'm not an O'Reilly fan at all. Say what you will about Trump's ego, O'Reilly's is just raging. His
""Killing X" series has been good. I just picked up" Killing Jesus".

I listened to that on audiobook. Not an O'Reilly fan but that one was really good. Enjoy it.

Recently listened to Way of The Reaper by Nick Iriving on Audible, now currently listening to The Reaper by Nick Irving. My book choices are extremely varied as you can tell...

New Mitch Rapp (Vince Flynn) book dropped yesterday. Kyle Mills has taken the reins since Vince'a death - so far so good!
Mitch Rapp is used to winning.
But in this follow-up to #1 New York Timesbestselling The Survivor, the CIA operative finds himself chasing false leads from continent to continent in an effort to keep Pakistani nukes from falling into the hands of terrorists. Together with friend and colleague Scott Coleman, Rapp struggles to prevent the loss of these lethal weapons, particularly because Russia is also interested in the nukes, though not for the same reason as Rapp and Coleman.
Soon, it becomes alarmingly clear that the forces in Moscow are bent on fomenting even more chaos and turmoil in the Middle East, and Rapp must go deep into Russian territory, posing as an American ISIS recruit. There, he uncovers a plan much more dangerous and insidious than he ever expected, one that could have far-reaching and catastrophic consequences.

His exploits were truly astounding. The Antarctic explorers were a little like rock stars in their day. Another explorer you may want to look at is Sir Douglas Mawson. His sole survival in the Antarctic is the equal of Shackleton.
Shackleton was a beast and his story should be on every professional military reading list.
I'm currently chewing through The Little Giants by William T. Youngblood. It covers the history of CVE escort carriers against Japan during WWII. A bit dry at times, not unlike Blair's U-boat series, it is doing a very good job of documenting their roles. Most were used to ferry aircraft and replacement pilots or used for CAS. One on the Atlantic would be so much different owing to their campaign against the U-boats.
Previously I read The Evil that Men Do by Roy Hazelwood. Hazelwood's a former Army MP officer turned FBI agent who helped build the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit. He and the book focus on his work as a profiler specializing in sex crimes. Good stuff and worth a read if you're into profilers/ profiling.

The only profiles I'm into are on MySpace.
That does actually sound rather interesting, though. I know my wife would love to read it; she has aspirations to work as a profiler/criminal linguist expert for the FBI/CIA in the future. Thanks for the suggestions; this is a great thread!

Truly a great book, it ended on an odd note but I enjoyed reading it and seeing how talented some of these profilers are. The memory of Hazelwood's partner walking into a crime scene, spotting a blood pattern and instantly identifying the race and age of the attacker struck me as incredible.
