Hunter was named a "top doctor for breast cancer" in Seattle and runs a cancer program in Kirkland, WA. His book covers detection, pathology, staging, management and prognosis. A good and simple guide to understanding.

Social Sciences

Stalkers and Shooters: A History of Snipers by Kevin Dockery. I bought this after a guy was in the other day asking for books on snipers. Dockery covers the history of snipers in both the military and law enforcement. Dockery goes beyond other sniping books by analyzing and explaining different engagements by both police and military. There are several sections written by police and military shooters about their work and what past actions have been like.

Special Forces: The War Against Saddam Hussein by Eric Micheletti. History of special forces in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. LOTS of color photos with coverage of Army, Air Force, Marines and Navy and also includes units from England and Australia and other coalition forces ("What about Poland? Don't forget Poland.")
