    Total bad ass ass kicking by the ultimate urban warfare unit = Mech Infantry. Superb CQB skills backed by the integrated BIG GUNs from Bradleys and Abrams. Absolutely riveting.
    I can't edit old post but must make a correction: Not 3rd ID. It was the 1st Infantry Division. Very sorry.

    I'd be careful with these two. Lots of bogus gouge to jumble up the good gouge, IMO(and many others' opinion's). I do still reference On Killing for certain aspects, though.

    Not to be confused with "Shooting from Within Your Pants" by Plaxico Burris. Worst treatise in AIWB ever.

    LOVED Crytonomicon. If you have any interest in Crypto, read this book. I may have to go read it again. It's been awhile.......

    Three good ones that have been mentioned so far:
    • Surgical Speed Shooting, by Andy Stanford
    • Fighting Smarter, by Tom Givens
    • Shooting from Within, J. Michael Plaxco
    And also one of the most influential books in the history of practical shooting, Practical Shooting: Beyond Fundamentals by Brian Enos.

    Not a lot of fiction listed here, but if that is what you are looking for, then anything by Marcus Wynne. I think all his work is listed on Amazon.
