From a while back, it's actually a very nice feel-good story.

I've probably gone through a dozen or more War on Terror books in the last year. A certain side-ism has come through between them.- #TeamFBI - FBI was doing things the right was, but was undermined by the CIA and underutilized by policymakers.
- #TeamMilitary - The armed services—SpecOps in particular—have the training and tools necessary for the job. FBI & CIA just make trouble on the periphery.
- #TeamCIA - This team is smaller. CIA has infrastructure and methods for the job, but has been underfunded and mismanaged.
Bush gets smacked around, as is custom. However, the author has harsh assessments of Obama. To wit, perhaps weº didn't give him enough credit as a ruthless killer of brown people around the Middle East. The extrajudicial killing of Anwar al-Awlaki and his son, both US citizens, is a central part of the book. The Bush admin harassed al-Awlaki. Obama vaporized him and his kid. I probably cheered it at the tim. The author makes a strong case that al-Awlaki had nothing to do with 9/11 hijackers, as alleged. - #TeamFBI - FBI was doing things the right was, but was undermined by the CIA and underutilized by policymakers.

Got my woke on too.
Warrior Cop was probably the better of the two, because it covered more. Some shocking stats on SWAT team usage. It triggered my libertarian sensibilities pretty good.
I Can't Breathe, a story well-told. The way Eric Garner was killed is pretty fucked up.
Recommend both. -

The late @Crow_T_Robot might appreciate Sowell's tracing of what is essentially Fast Strategy culture in the South to the shitty parts of Great Britain. Good book. -
Reading currently: For whom the bell tolls
Was reading: The Plague by Albert Camus but had to put it down when shit got real in February or so, been slowly getting back into that.
Other shit I've been picking up and putting down this year: Democracy in America, the Elminster series from Forgotten Realms(DnD nerd shit), Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond(can't have a desert compound without water)
