Now that I am an airport lobby regular, as I travel several times a month, I have taken to a previously underused skill: reading. In my travels since the middle of October I have read:
- "We were Soldiers Once...And Young: Ia Drang--The Battle That Changed The War In Vietnam" by
Lt.Gen. Hal Moore and Joe Galloway - "Secret Commandos, Behind Enemy Lines with the Elite Warriors of SOG" by John L. Plaster
- "Flags of Our Fathers" by James Bradley
- "Facing Ali: 15 Fighters/15 Stories" by Stephen Brunt
- "MacArthur's Undercover War: Spies, Saboteurs, Guerrillas, and Secret Missions" by by William B. Breuer
- "Atlas, A Son's Journey From the Streets to the Ring to a Life Worth Living" by Teddy Atlas with Peter Alson
Sense a theme here? If you do, please let me know what it is. While in Cincinnati this week, I picked up "Martial Arts America, A Western Approach to Eastern Arts" by TDA friend Bob Orlando.
I plan to post a few thoughts on each book, and share what I've learned. Believe it or not, I actually learned something that I can apply to my life, teaching, and training from almost all of these books. Stay tuned...
