"American Sniper" by Chris Kyle
The most lethal sniper in military history
labmonkey (anonymous) replies…
Curtis Hathcock (sp?)?
RoeDapple (anonymous) replies…
Actually Carlos Hathcock II had 97 confirmed kills but was responsible for many more unconfirmed. Chris Kyle had 160 kills with many more unconfirmed but still regards Hathcock as the better sniper. States in his book he just had a more "target rich" environment.

"Killing Lincoln" - Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard
"In the spring of 1865, the bloody saga of America's Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of increasingly harrowing battles. President Abraham Lincoln's generous terms for Robert E. Lee's surrender are devised to fulfill Lincoln's dream of healing a divided nation, with the former Confederates allowed to reintegrate into American society. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices, perhaps reaching into the highest ranks of the U.S. government, are not appeased."
Just started yesterday so haven't got a feel for if it is good or not yet.

Hey, thanks for the info. Checked out their website, the "for human users only" part might be a problem though. The gnomes, elves, and faries are a bit peeved.

You're welcome most of the books are old...but then so am I ! :)

Recently finished "Taken" by Robert Crais. If Joe Pike & Elvis Cole are after you, you are in big time trouble.
