Christmas catalogues have been out for weeks and it is time to think of holiday gifts—a book you say. My recommendations. 1. David Mellinkof, Conscience of a Lawyer. 2. Daniel J. Kornstein, Kill All the Lawyers: Shakespeare's Legal Appeal. 3. Dan Abrams, John Adams Under Fire: The Founding Father's Fight for Justice in the Boston Massacre Murder Trial. 4. Jay Wexler, The Odd Clauses: Understanding the Constitution Through Ten of its Most Curious Provisions. Senator Graham appears in one chapter. Who would have thought the Incompatibility Clause would arise in a court-martial appeal case. See United States v. Lane, 64 M.J. 1 (C.A.A.F. 2006). 5. Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (especially if you can get the Norton Critical Edition). Do you have a book or two to recommend? Phil CaveMJ Editor

I'm enjoying Tom Ricks' First Principles: What America's Founders Learned from the Greeks and Romans and How That Shaped Our Country https://www.amazon.com/First-Principles-Americas-Founders-Learned/dp/0062997459 Would be interested in knowing what others think of it. H.R. McMaster's Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World is a tour de force worth a read. Especially glad to see Don's recommendations, particularly 3-5. Amazingly, I don't think Anatomy of a Murder is de riguer for law students as it once was.

For fans of Thomas E. Ricks, I would add Churchill and Orwell: The Fight for Freedom.
