I’ve been on a Russian history kick lately - very readable and helps one understand how the country got to have an autocrat like Putin:
TL;DR, "Russians are the most fucked up white people on the planet."
Pretty much...but it’s the most fascinating train wreck of a dynasty. It’s also interesting seeing how the politics were influenced by the Russian Orthodox Church.
I may have thrown this out before, but deserves second if so.
Meticulous research.
Great fucking book. Also recommend this:
Red Platoon is the story of the final battle at COP Keating and the 2 books should be read together. 1 of the 2 Medal of Honor winners ended up at Fort Lewis around 2010.

Read this years ago by the Colonel in charge of reverse engineering Roswell tech. Even more plausible today. We sure had a leap the last half of the 20th century. Confirmation bias? I think we will be told aliens are real soon. We are being groomed for it

Cmdr David Fravor (Tic Tac) and Bob Lazar (Rozwell) have revisited some pretty compelling content within the last year or so
I read this a few years ago and thought it was pretty good as far as government conspiracies are concerned. Supposedly the author committed suicide by shooting himself in the head multiple times...don’t know if there’s any truth to it, but it made me want to read the book.

Completely my wheelhouse so I loved it. It does have much to say, between the lines, about the impact nuclear weapons have on our politics.

Thanks Boomer!
It's about a newspaper reporter in Spokane experiencing financial troubles so he starts selling weed to make a dent in things.
Not coincidentally, Jess Walter was a reporter in Spokane at one time.
His book on Ruby Ridge (non-fiction) is really good.
If you like Sherman Alexie, Jess Walter has a similar style. Except he's not an @swaye rez boi.
