Sunday Book Review: May 28, 2023 – The Memorial Day Edition

In the Sunday Book Review, I consider books that interest the compliance professional, the business executive, or anyone curious. It could be books about business, compliance, history, leadership, current events, or anything else that might interest me. In today’s edition of the Sunday Book Review, we begin a two-part look at George Orwell and his writings and review books on patriotism and Memorial Day.

  • Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley and Ron Powers
  • Citizen Soldiers by Stephen Ambrose
  • The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw
  • The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara
