I could tell.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Zeihan reads my shit.YellowSnow said:Recently finished Peter Zeihan's The End of the World is Just the Beginning
Definitely recommend. I think he presses at times with some of his predictions, but even if he's only half right, the next 10- 20 are going to be interesting either way.
@UW_Doog_Bot would like for the Long China is bull shit hot takes.

Thanks, I shall procure.TheRoarOfTheCrowd said:Sorry, Ieft the exclamation point off of the end… details matter. Here is the book…
Also available in another edition which i think is cheaper, this is just what i have…
Here is the paperback..
As for suggestions for you...
If you're looking for military, I recently finished Generation Kill for the third time, outstanding. Earlier in the fall, Ireadlistened to GJ Meyer's Great War books, World Undone and The World Remade, there might be a third. Those are a little less battles and more big picture. I underappreciated WW1's impact on US politics, and what a fuckass Wilson was. The Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club about Naval flyers (hai @swaye!!) in Vietnam but also about the fuckery. Masters of Air, about the 9th(?) Air Force Group in Europe, pretty damned harrowing at tims.
Overall best books I've read recently are Peter Zeihan's.
Misc: T by Carole Hooven, about testosterone. The accounts of women->transmen starting T are fascinating. Tough Luck, RD Rosen, about Sid Luckman and the evolution of football. Paradise, Lizzie Johson, about the Paradise, CA fire, terrifying. Zero Fail, Carol Leoning, a rather skeptical look at the history of the Secret Service (yeah, they fucksups too). Enemies, Tim Weiner, about the FBI's history of malarkey, actually paired well with Meyer's The World Remade. -
Just saw a show on the American History Channel on this and will read this soon
National Guard battalion with stood Hitler's plan to cream Patton and drive the allies out of Normandy. 450 men held off 4 Panzer divisions and 12,000 German troops for 5 days. -
I won’t even try to describe the book other than saying it took 5-6 days to read, captured my attention and was like a roller coaster ride of emotions with the stories of people in survival mode.
Here’s the back cover description.

Finally getting caught up on watching 💕My boyfriend💞 John Krasinski’s Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime, and it prompted me to start re-reading all the Tom Clancy books, beginning with Red Storm Rising.
Which has also sent me down some fun YouTube rabbit holes.

Great suggestion @GrundleStiltzkin, Masters of the Air is an epic tale of the newly formed origins and evolution of the 8th American Air core + the surprisingly relentless impact of the RAF [who knew] in the battle over Western Europe to achieve control of the air ~ love the book, generation kill is next.GrundleStiltzkin said:
