10 Best History Books of the Last 10 Years 
By Brandon Christensen, RealClearHistory: “This time of year produces a ton of "Best of..." or "Top ____ of the Year" lists, and they're usually pretty good. However, I always come away from such reads wishing they would have been deeper, or covered more ground, or had a bit more history to them.”

Asset Pricing Competition
by John H. Cochrane via Grumpy Economist
John Campbell's text, "Financial Decisions and Markets" is out from Princeton University Press. With some mild chagrin, I must say it's a splendid book.

War Books: 'The Management of Violence' 
By Colin Steele, Modern War Institute: “In The Soldier and the State, Samuel Huntington famously adopted the phrase “the management of violence” to encapsulate the military officer’s art.”
CENTCOM Commander’s 2018 Reading List 
From Modern War Institute: “Gen. Joseph Votel, commander of US Central Command, has released his 2018 reading list. With twelve books across five categories, Gen. Votel’s list makes for a great edition of our weekly War Books series.”
War Books: Major General Mick Ryan’s 2018 Reading List 
By Mick Ryan, Modern War Institute: “I have included several of my favourite science-fiction novels that feature military themes.  I have written previously about why I think military officers should read sci-fi, and have collaborated on a sci-fi reading list.  Given the small number of sci-fi books I included, this might be the most controversial aspect of the list—there is no Starship Troopers or Enders Game.  I don’t think these are bad novels; I just think Old Mans War and The Forever War are better. And it is very hard to go past The Martian for a story of resilience, innovation, and pure greatness in storytelling.”
Must-Reads for 2017: World Crisis Edition
By James Stavridis, Bloomberg: “Novels about Syria, a jotting genius, Indian massacres and the return of George Smiley.”
War Books: Maj. James King, U.S. Army 
By James King, Modern War Institute: “As with cutting my list to a top five, finding the one that shaped me the most is a difficult task. From a fiction standpoint, I first read Red Storm Rising at an age where I was too young to understand it ... ”
War Books: Andrew Bacevich 
By Andrew Bacevich, Modern War Institute: “In my judgment, Niebuhr’s The Irony of American History, published in 1952, remains the most important book ever written about US foreign policy.”
