The Rage and the Pride by Oriana Fallaci, her post 9-11 rant against her fellow europoeans. Should be read by every american.

Probably once a year!

europoeans = europeans oops!!

Also enjoyed

Castles of Steel: Britain, Germany, and the Winning of the Great War at Sea by Robert K Massie - this is a great read and the similarity of the personality conflicts to today’s war gives perspective

The Empires of the Steppes: A History of Central Asia by Rene Grousset - this one will be tedious and dry if you are not interested in this area

Buddha’s Warriors: The Story of the CIA-Backed Tibetan Freedom Fighters, the Chinese Communist Invasion, and the Ultimate Fall of Tibet by Mikel Dunham Dunham set out to investigate how people with a tradition of warfare could also be the seat of Buddhism and ended up with this moving and tragic narrative. Dunham is a Buddhist, and while this is his original motivator he is not preachy or anti-western (at least in this book - I have never read anything else by him).
