The Island of Logic

Marine Sniper is an autobiography of an American hero, Carlos Hathcock. It is written by Charles Henderson. It is the first of a two book series about Carlos. The second book is Silent Warrior. Marine Sniper places a different twist to the Vietnam War then generally portrayed by the main stream media. There were many genuine American heroes in that war and Carlos is one of them. Not all of our soldiers were “baby killers” and incidents like the My Lai Massacre were not the norm. This book covers Carlos’ early life and Vietnam deployment. It tells of Carlos pioneering efforts in the art of sniper warfare, and covers many of his most exiting missions. This is definitely a must read.

My Grandfather’s Son is well written memoir of the life of Clarence Thomas. Clarence Thomas is a personal hero of mine, but even more so after reading this book. Usually biographies are not page turners for me, but this one was. Clarence Thomas overcame the limitations of segregation, racism, and affirmative action to live the American Dream, and be all he could be. This is a very inspirational book and is well worth your time.
