I can't recommend this one enough. It always brings a smile to my face and makes me want to get off my kiester and do something!

"I Heard the Owl Call My Name", about an episcopal priest who is sent to minister to the Indians in Northern Canada. Fiction, but very powerful.

The Carlos Hathcock biography? 'Marine Sniper' IIRC

I thought "Crusader" was a good read. Was a Reagan biography but spent a lot of time on his decisions dealing with the Soviet Union.

I also enjoyed Liberty Defined by Ron Paul, but you have to take a bit to digest each chapter.

I know that's two, but they're both good. Hard to choose.
