Ghost Wars - A history of the CIA, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Mr. Osama Bin Laden, Well written and fair enough to spread the blame among all the interested parties.

The Eagle & the Rising Sun - An analysis of the events from 1900 through 1955 that led to the War in the Pacific from 41-45. It really gets into the corruption of the Samurai Bushido code and the foolishness of our military and government in the twenties & thirties.
