The well-read warrior: The books you need to read this month

May 13, 2019 by Alex Hollings Leave a Comment

In today’s world full of motive-driven media outlets and the internet’s non-stop outrage party, it pays to unplug from the anger-matrix from time to time so you can focus on the broader issues affecting our society. If you want to be better informed that than your average Facebook spamming troll, it means learning more about the bigger picture in deeper dives than you can usually find online. Fortunately, there’s never a shortage of excellent new books hitting the market that are just what the doctor ordered for the modern warrior suffering from web-fatigue.

This week, we talk about three books that just recently hit the market: Jack Murphy’s memoir, “Murphy’s Law,” Luke Ryan’s collection of warrior poetry, “The Gun and the Scythe,” and John Greenewald Jr.’s “Inside the Black Vault.”

You can find all three books at the links below:
