Leadership, Business, Security and Risk Reading List

This is my list of favorite books across the various professional disciplines I’m interested in. I have a set of favorite books that are not professionally related but I won’t presume you are interested in British Military History, Photography or Railways. I’m not saying these favorite books are objectively the best, but they are content I come back to a lot, either to reference or re-read for inspiration or re-education. Some are quite dated, but are classics in their own right for the principles they contain.
