  > I am currently reading "Civilian Warrior" by Erik Prince > For those who want to know or understand beyond the headlines and news articles. Something like that is probably only valuable to understand how Erik Prince conceives of himself. It's highly likely to be a self-serving portrayal, so I don't think it's a great help for someone who wants to "know or understand beyond the headlines and news articles." It's more like something a historian could use to mine unindented admissions and small facts that only become valuable when carefully combined with other sources.

  What's your take on it? Given the secrecy around this type of work, I would assume that a book written by a guy neck-deep in this would provide as much objectivity as a presidential candidate's autobiography.
