 BOOKS FOR VETS PAGE
 

      Here are books I know you will find very interesting. Topics are veterans benefits, military history, politics, or just plain good reading. Many of these books can be purchased online from Powell's Books.

free copy of the
2009 VA benefits
handbook here...

  Here is the definitive, but pricey, dynamic duo:  Federal Veterans Laws, Rules and Regulations and Veterans Benefits Manual.  Kind of heavy on the legalize but they have everything including forms.  Available from Lexis/Nexis.
 
Here is more great reading.  Veterans' Benefits:  A Guide to State Programs by R. E. Armstrong adds to the above books by detailing what benefits are available from the states.  Click to find out more about this book.   The Veteran's Survival Guide:  How to File and Collect on VA Claims by John D. Roche gives great step-by-step information on how to get your claim.  If you're tired of having your claim denied, try this book.  Click to find out more about this book.

 
Don't let your benefits go to waste.  Get this book!  Veterans Unclaimed Benefits:  The Insider's Guide by Michael Riedel tells you all about the benefits the VA doesn't tell you about.  If I had had this book years ago I could have saved thousands of dollars on eyeglasses alone.  Click to find out more about this book.   Between the Lines:  Photographs from the National Vietnam Veterans Memorial by Thomas Morrissey.  An imposing collection of photographs that not only captures the faces of those who visit the monument but the emotion, solitude, and ultimate spirit of healing that takes place there.  Click to find out more about this book.

Dancy.   Tyrone takes you well beyond the comforts of yellow ribbons, the American flag, patriotic bumper stickers and bows... and places before you the harsh, sobering reality of combat service.     Click to find out more about this book.

 
AFTER MEMBERS OF OUR ARMED forces bravely serve their nation, they sometimes come home to find themselves battling another enemy- within their own government. Using decades of case histories, statistics, and firsthand accounts, Martin Schram exposes a shocking culture of antagonism toward veterans by the very agency- the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)- that was formed to serve them.

  In 1944, the U.S. government feared the flood of returning World War II soldiers as much as it looked forward to peace. To avoid economic catastrophe, FDR, the American Legion, William Randolph Hearst, and others began crafting the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944. It would be the single most transformative bill of the twentieth century.  By Edward Humes.  This is a must read:  Over Here: How the G.I. Bill Transformed the American Dream
