YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe September 2021 reading list selections are all books that relate to Afghanistan. If you are looking for a base from which to understand why we spent twenty years there and why we left the way we did, start in the pages of these selections. 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 books that have been influential to me along my journey, 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? You might find one that resonates. Happy reading!
