What books are you reading? 2025

[*winter*]

Sooo I thought I’d start a book thread!

Currently:

Alpha, by David Phillips (discusses the Eddie Gallagher SEAL situation from the POV of the team members who turned him in. Also have read the book by Eddie G himself- The Man in the Arena. Think the truth lies somewhere in the middle).

This book just came out and I’ve read parts of it. Holding off until I get more free time because it’s intense and not the most pleasant subject matter:

The Fort Bragg Cartel by Seth Harp. There’s a great series of articles online if you google Seth Harp and Ft Bragg that introduce the subject matter. Which kind of leads into an endorsement no one asked for: Jack Murphy’s podcast on all things military: The Team House. He was also on Military Matters. Jack is an accomplished veteran himself who has also written several books (next on my list!). Anyway, Jack has done a few interviews on this topic and they’re very nuanced. He understands the world of Special Forces but doesn’t give a pass for bad or criminal behavior.
