Unbroken Bonds of Battle by Johnny Joey Jones.
Mr Jones lost his legs in Afghanistan while working as an EOD ( Explosive Ordinance Disposal). But the book is more about other heroes he had contact with.

'a spy among friends' by ben macintyre. well written and a fascinating insight into how trust in 'the old boy' network blinded people to what was obviously happening.

neville shute's 'the trustee from the toolroom' found in a charity shop. a really good 'old style story' with a quiet, unassuming hero and written by an author with an eye for technical detail. I was going to say it's a man's book but my sister in law liked it too.

one of my most enjoyable reads, ''Depraved" the story of H.H.Holmes, America's first serial killer.
