American Patriots
A dramatic and moving tribute to the military’s unsung heroes, American Patriots tells the story of the black servicemen and women who defended American ideals on the battlefield, even as they faced racism in the ranks and segregation on the home front.
Gail Buckley's Summer Reading List
The News about the News
by Leonard Downie Jr. and Robert G. Kaiser
Two Washington Post veterans talk about what’s good, what’s bad and what’s awful in today’s media --- and they make reading the papers even more interesting.
Way out there in the Blue
by Frances Fitzgerald
I was busy writing my own book when it came out, but this account of Star Wars might as well be new since it explains the power of ideology in Washington today.
Steel My Soldiers' Hearts
by Col. David Hackworth and Eilhys England
I’m looking forward to more vivid, Vietnam experiences from an informative and provocative warrior-storyteller.
Firehouse
by David Halberstam
Halberstam is always a good reporter and I’m trying to read everything I can get about New York’s Bravest, and what they did on 9/11.
Queen and Country
by William Shawcross
The royal family is always fascinating and Shawcross is always authoritative --- and he writes beautifully.
