It includes nine books chosen by Welsh and three selected by CMSAF James Cody, as well as seven films, seven TED talks, web-based resources, artwork, and photography, according to a Feb. 6 release. “This year’s CSAF Reading List was designed to build understanding,” Welsh said in his message to airmen. “There are stories of airmen, fellow service members, and leaders from many different backgrounds.” The list is available here.
