The U.S. Navy has removed certain books from its recommended reading list that were accused of containing “anti-American” or “Marxist” content last year.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday released on May 6 an updated version of the Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP), which includes a list of recommended books as part of the Navy’s effort to help develop the professionalism of all sailors.
