a glimpse at Steve Rogers’ bookshelf

Standing books, left:

• Never Surrender: A Soldier’s Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom by Lieutenant General William G. Boykin
• The Art of War by Sun Tzu
• A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
• Three books I can’t identify, although one may be Dispatches by Michael Herr 

Stacked books:

• Madam President: Shattering the Last Glass Ceiling by Eleanor Clift and Tom Brazaitis
• George H.W. Bush by Timothy Naftali 
• Barack Obama: The Story by David Maraniss 
• The Night Stalkers: Top Secret Missions of the US Army’s Special Operations Aviation Regiment by Michael J. Durant, Steven Hartov, and Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. Johnson

Standing books, right:

• The Second World War: An Illustrated History of WWII, Sir John Hammerton (editor)—two volumes out of the ten-volume series published by Trident Press (1999-2000)

What I like about the book choices is that it fits in with one of the running gags in the movie about Rogers trying to catch up on everything he missed from World War II to when he was discovered. These books show he was definitely focusing on history (which is why I’m uncertain on the Hemingway), at least on this shelf.
