I have recently read a book about the psychology of the (US) police interview techniques. Not planning to go to the US in the forseeable future so can't see it coming in useful.
Also read Bravo Three Zero, the team that deployed in Iraq AND didn't get caught. Mostly a total gang-fuck apparently, not in anyway the fault of the team having said that. Poor int as is often the case. Wrong kit, wrong weather, wrong type of terrain, wrong frequencies, crap vehicles.
Then a quick dip into a Seal's survival "manual". Starts with physical and mental motivation then goes through survival situations. I have just read the first one: surviving a disaster at sea.
Then moved onto We Die Alone - David Howarth. The tale of a 4-man sabotage team who sailed from Shetland to Norway in WW2 to train the locals to sabotage the German army occupiers and their infrastructure. An absolutely harrowing tale, which I would definitely recommend.
Now re-reading the series of Sven Hassel books starting with the Legion of the Damned. I think that I last started reading these when I was 18. I will intersperse these with others on the Kobo ereader. So many books, so little time.
