On his Danger Close podcast this week, Jack Carr gave listeners a sneak-peek at the fifth novel in his Terminal List series, playing the Prologue from the audiobook version of In the Blood on his show.
Unlikely Warrior by Robert Lovell, my dad published it at age 82. Story of his time as the radio operator in a half track for the 9th Armor divisions Military Governor group. Spring 1945 in Germany. Good read

I just finished David Morrell's First Blood. The Stallone movie of the same name is based on the novel, but there are some significant differences. They're significant enough that they really won't spoil each other, so even if you've seen the movie, it's worth reading the novel.
Try The Prize
I don’t remember who wrote it but it’s about the rise and fall of Standard Oil.
if you an oilfield hater don’t bother.

I'm currently in the middle of Damn Lucky, the story of John "Lucky" Luckadoo, a B-17 copilot in the Bloody 100th Bomb Group during WWII, as written by Kevin Maurer (Mark Owen's co-writer on No Easy Day). Luckadoo is still alive and kicking (he's 104, IIRC), and was recently on Jack Carr's Danger Close podcast (which was how I heard about the book).
Here's Maurer and Luckadoo (mostly Luckadoo):

That dang Jack Carr has caused me to pick up several new books this week, so I'm torn about which one to read after Damn Lucky. Because of his interviews, in addition to Damn Lucky, I got copies of Ric Prado's Black Ops (about Ric's time in the CIA's ground branch), and Meyli Chapin's Terrorist Attack Girl (she was in a hotel in Nairobi that was stormed by terrorists). Then I found out that James Hornfischer's final book, Who Can Hold the Sea, was released, so I naturally had to pick up a copy of it...
damn I could not find this thread to save my life.
My three latest books are
Mongol Moon
The Glass Factory
Blood Meridian (this one is a tougher read)
