The Scooter Book by Bob Woods - cute but too breezy... seems like a rush job, 'cause one of the chapters (#3?) ends before its final sentence does.
Generation Kill by Evan Wright - absorbing account by an embedded reporter about a Marine reconnaissance platoon (? brigade?) invading/liberating Iraq in March/April 2003. Lotsa ammo, gore, craziness, surreality, and death.
Against All Odds by Chuck Norris and Ken Abraham - autobiography of this action icon reveals some aspects of his life and philosophy... I'd like to see more context, but Chuck ain't exactly a historian or brimming with intellectual curiousity... I saw the man up close, one time, before he got into movies. (More to relate, but I'll save that for a future entry.)
