August Video Update: Reading List Selection

The August 2021 installment of my monthly reading list series is live on my blog.

The August 2021 reading list selections include works from a Pulitzer Prize winner, two colonels in China’s People’s Liberation Army, one of the most brilliant writers and thinkers of our time, a legend in the thriller genre, a timely book on Afghanistan even though it is twenty years old, and a book about an author writing another New York Times bestseller. Be sure to check out my stand-alone book specific Instagram page @JackCarrBookClub for a book club type experience in a place you can explore all my reading list selections in one location. If you are just discovering these lists for the first time and want to check out past selections, they are all posted to the blog section of my website. For those new to the Team, each month I highlight six books, some from the professional reading list I was asked to put together for the Naval Special Warfare Center before I retired from the SEAL Teams and others that I have enjoyed at various stages of my life not directly associated with my time in the military. Interested in the “how” and “why” behind the books that influenced me? Check out the blog. You might find one that resonates. Happy reading!
