I read "The Things They Carried" a few years ago and thought it was pretty interesting.

I just got done reading hunters and shooters, a history of the U.S. Navy SEALs in Vietnam.
All told by ex seals Great book tells the history of the seals and tactics, along with how they modified their weapons and stuff. Also they the ex seals talk in full detail of every mission they were in during Vietnam.

look for the book Shooter, written by Gunnery SGT. Jack Coughlin USMC and CAPT. Casey Kuhlman, USMCR. He gives a great autobiography of being a Marine Sniper. Its a New York Times best seller.
