There are a few very well crafted books recently added to the library collection.
COBRA II by Gordon, Michael is available in both print and audiobook formats. It is the inside story of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Very solid material and discussion of the battle plan and what went wrong.
STATE OF WAR by Risen, James is a dramatic account of the political events behind the Iraq invasion and occupation. It also is available in print and audiobook formats. Just the subtitle alone ought to entice you to head down to the library -- "SECRET HISTORY OF THE CIA" Wow, 'nuff said.
Then there are 2 I probably won't get many takers on -- but, are these well crafted and fun!

You could actually learn to write by studying these two titles. Written by pros . . .
GAUDEAMUS by Barnes, John is only in text. It is science fiction written like the campy late 1950s Black and White films. Barnes is a Professor of Theater Arts in Colorado and uses himself in the first person throughout the text. Characters are very well drawn. As I read I could see it both film,stage play and even musical in the "Little Shop of Horrors" vein.
The final entry is also science fiction OLD MAN'S WAR by Scalzi, John is a further extetion of the 50's style swashbuckling adventure.Again, it is an object lesson in writing a well crafted work.
