Marcus Luttrell, author of "Lone Survivor", has written his latest book "SERVICE: A Navy SEAL at War" about his own experiences as a combat-trained Navy SEAL and about the soldiers who give their lives to defend their nation and each other.  Still fresh from Operation RAMADI in Iraq and Operation REDWING in Afghanistan, Luttrell retired from the SEALs and began the turbulent transition back to civilian life, embarking on a quest to understand why a rare few choose to dedicate their lives to the protection of their country for a cause that is both abstract and deeply personal. Touring the country and connecting wiht veterans of all generations, he met with military from all service branches - Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines - in the hope of making their stories known.

"SERVICE" spans the entire spectrum of modern U.S. Military history, from World War II to the present, and touches what defines our martial tradition, from West Point to the Naval Academy to the Guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Gregory Crouch has written an exciting story.  It will transport you to a fascinating time when intrepid Americans and their Chinese partners stuggle to estbalish a sophisticated air network over a vast land that barely knew electricity.  The idea for the book started in 2002 when a friend of Crouch, Charlie Fowler, sent him an email about him hearing stories of old World War II American plane wrecks in Eastern Himalaya. "You, Greg, is a military history guy and a mountaineer; you should write a story about that!"  Web searched quicly gave Crouch the information he needed about the China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC) a civil airline partnership between Pan American Airways and Chiang Kai-shek that flew and faought in China from 1929 to 1949.  It also put him in touch with the president of the CNAC Association, Bill Maher, who was having a reunion in San Francisco.  When he learned hat Crouch was exploring the possibility of writing a book about his airline, he told him to attend: "We've got great stories."  Crouch attended, met up with Maher and his flying band of brothers andleft with the discovery of an untold. compelling and signicant story that he was meant to tell.  China's Wings is a story that is part adventure, part unearthed history.  Fascinating!
