Best Gun Books

Here are my nominees for the best fiction and non-fiction gun books:

BEST NON-FICTION GUN BOOKS
1. Boston's Gun Bible by Boston T Party. If you could only have one gun book, this would be the one to get. It ain't called a bible for nothing.

2. Nation of Cowards by Jeff Snyder. An amazing collection of essays on the ethics of guns and self defense. Snyder is one of the smartest gun writers out there, and he thinks through gun ownership in new and utterly convincing ways. A must read.

3. To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth by Jeff Cooper. Just a bunch of enjoyable real life stories by the father of modern handgun technique.

4. You & the Police by Boston T Party. This is a really good little book on dealing with the police with the central focus on gun ownership.


BEST FICTION GUN BOOKS
1. Unintended Consequences by John Ross. Fantastic defense of the gun culture, some little known history, and a great story. You will not be sorry you read this book.

2. Molon Labe! by Boston T Party. OK, so Boston is not the best fiction writer, but this book has some great ideas. Imagine a state seceding from the union rich in freedom and lean in government. That is the vision of this book.

3. Enemies Foreign and Domestic by Matthew Bracken. Bracken is a really good writer who keeps you in suspense the whole time. And it is the first book in an excellent trilogy, so what's not to like?

4. Patriots by James Wesley, Rawles. A damn good survival manual for the future when Obama finishes implementing his policies. Rawles is lacking a bit in character development, but the thoughts and ideas that went into this book make it well worth reading.

Thoughts? Anyone think there is a better one not mentioned? I'm always looking for something else interesting to read.

Hatchers Notebook by J. S. Hatcher. This is a technical book covering Major General Hatchers research while in th US Army doing weapon research from WWI through WW II. It's worth reading from both a historical and technical perspective.

Training at the speed of Life by Kenneth Murray
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
The Tactical Trainer by Msg Paul Howe (ret)
and of course, On Killing and On Combat by our friend Lt Col Dave Grossman (ret)

Matt Bracken is a member over at glocktalk, and a really good guy.

got this cool logo that was on his book from him

Don't know if this would be considered a gun book, but Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell is an outstanding book. Also the books by Jack Coughlin (fiction) are very good.

I have always liked that logo.
