Sep 30th Non-fiction Book Everyone Should Read & Why #L&SR’s Weekly Blog Challenge

Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge September 30, 2020, Non-fiction book everyone should read & Why. Oh this on is difficult for me! I read for entertainment.  But I did read a couple that really were tough. Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie. 

 

 

Well, here’s what I came up with for the Non-fiction book everyone should read and why. If you don’t agree, I understand. Do you know of a non-fiction book that everyone should read? Why? Please list them in the comments!

American Sniper by Christopher Kyle with Scott McEwen and Jim Defelice –  The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History is an autobiography by United States Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, With 255 kills, 160 of them officially confirmed by the Pentagon, Kyle is the deadliest marksman in U.S. military history. The memoir has sold over 1.2 million copies across all formats.  Why read it?  Freedom is not free.

In 2013, Kyle was murdered by Eddie Ray Routh at the Rough Creek Lodge shooting range near Chalk Mountain, Texas. A former Marine with posttraumatic stress disorder, Routh was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

No Easy Day  by Matt Bissonnette under the pen name Mark Owen. –The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama bin Laden (2012) is a military memoir by a former member of the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) who participated in the mission that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden. The book was written by Matt Bissonnette under the pen name Mark Owen. It details Owen’s career with DEVGRU, including several combat missions in which he participated with the unit. At least half of the book focuses on Owen’s participation in the mission that killed bin Laden.

Owen and his publisher’s decision to release the book without first submitting it for United States Department of Defense (DoD) review generated controversy. The DoD claims that the book contains classified information, which the book’s publisher denies. In late August 2012, advance publicity increased the initial print run from 300,000 copies to 575,000. 

Why read these books.  A reminder what it takes to protect our country and our freedom. I’m sure my choices will surprise some. I realize not everyone feels as I do, but being raised in a military town and married a soldier, I’ve seen the cost first hand as have the military families.

There you have it Non-fiction book everyone should read and why. I understand these books may not be for everyone, but everyone should understand the cost of freedom. My humble opinion and we are all entitled to our own.

“It feels like all the air is being sucked out of this room.” His brother’s face turned ashen white as Beth’s ghostly form took shape in the center of the room.

Brock moved to the little group gathered and glanced at the grandfather clock standing in the hallway. Fifteen minutes until midnight. The witching hour on All Hallows Eve. A nervous chuckle rose up in his throat. How cliche. His brother would be a believer after this night.

He cleared his throat and wrapped an arm around Gwen’s waist. “Can we help you, Beth?” Misfit’s howling could be heard clearly from the upstairs bedroom.

“No, but I hope we can help you.” Ghost Beth glanced back at the painting and sadly shook her head. “The ghost of Judge John Hathorne stands outside ready to curse or worse all those involved in sullying his reputation. The house stands between all of you…protecting—” The ghost’s hand and arm made a sweeping motion toward their group, “— against his magic ability.”

A soft almost hysterical giggle burst from Gwen. “Doesn’t he know that by his actions this night, he has not only outed himself but proved the rumors and article are true?”

“I don’t believe he’s considered that point.” Beth’s ghostly grim face twitched into a half-smile. “He’s bent on revenge, but apparently had trouble passing through the veil this evening.” She pointed to the clock and then laid a finger on her lips.
