Gangster Hunters: How Hoover\u2019s G-men Vanquished America\u2019s Deadliest Public Enemies<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

An excellent book about the early days of the FBI and the techniques they used to hunt down \u201cAmerica\u2019s Most Wanted\u201d in the 1930s.<\/em><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Machete Season: The Killers in Rwanda Speak<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I picked this one up after\u00a0a trip to Rwanda<\/a>\u00a0a couple years ago.\u00a0 It interviews both the killers and victims\u2019 surviving family members in one of the largest genocides in recent history.\u00a0 The book describes how one ethnic group can become enraged enough to kill millions of their own countrymen.\u00a0 Powerful stuff.<\/em><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

101 Drills for Handguns, Rifles, and Shotguns<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

My friend Mike Boyle wrote this excellent little book full shooting drills.\u00a0 Most of the other books on the market covering this subject matter do it from a perspective of creating drills for repetitive individual practice sessions.\u00a0 This one is a little different.\u00a0 Most of the drills Mike shares are very competitive.\u00a0 They are short round count stages that are all timed and scored.\u00a0 If you have a shooting club or are a police trainer looking to add some friendly competition into your shooting classes, you should pick this book up.\u00a0 If you look closely, you might find a drill created by yours truly.<\/em><\/h3>\n
