My history research project is over Al Qaeda and the death of Osama bin Laden. You're probably thinking: What exactly does this have to do with your reading blog?
WELL LET ME TELL YOU.
You see, I have a book called No Easy Day about the mission that killed Osama bin Laden.
Needless to say, I decided to read it, mostly because I wanted to, but partially so I could have a valid excuse to read when I should be doing my homework. ("This is my homework, Mom!")
Anyways, I have a couple of things to say about this book, the first being, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ACRONYMS?
SEAL
CIA
DEVGRU
BUD/S
CQB
PT
SCUBA
JSOC
SAW
HAHO
OCD
EOT
GROM
AC
SOAR
EOD
HSAC
PKM
RPG
IED
RECCE
FOB
SHOT
SSE
EKIA
JOC
NATO
UBL
VIP
CPDD
NVG
IR
FRIES
QRF
And the list goes on.
I'll give you some time to take in the overwhelming amount of acronyms.
The next thing is something that I like. It was really easy to understand. No crazy big words, or crazy amount of characters. The author explains everything vary clearly and I never felt confused. It's also written in simple terms and you can tell the author did this purposefully so that the reader didn't feel in the dark about anything.
Anyways, you should try it out.
How did you read through all the arconyms? I'd have a lot of difficulty doing that - nice job!!
ReplyDeleteGood job with all of the acronyms! I'll have to check this out!
