Great Books

From time to time, I plan to post book recommendations. And since there's no time like the present, I'll begin with two books by two old friends. In the non-fiction category, Walter Mead's new book is a must read for those interested in the forces that shape US foreign policy. In the fiction section, Joe Kanon's third novel is his best yet. As the hero investigates a murder, the author explores the larger crime scene.
