Red Eagles? I'll second the "fun book" comment. I'd recommend it to anyone who has ever enjoyed a Tom Clancy novel.

It looks like there are two books with similar titles - which one are you reading?

Blind Man's Bluff is good, as another poster suggests.

Another fun one is "The theory that would not die," about the history of Bayes rule.

I'm reading the one by Steve Davies. Its not really written as a page turner but the content makes it so!

On the subject of fun nonfiction, I have to recommend "blind man's bluff"; its the best of the genre, IMO. Any others?

Also, broader away from recent military skunk works is anything by Simon Singh, particularly The Code Book and Fermet's Last Theorum.
