Agreed, MtnGoat. Ghost Wars was a real education and eye opener for me, and I've since given it as a gift to quite a few people with the tenacity and interest level to see it through. Not many authors are able to put recent history into the perspective that Coll does. His grasp of detail and use of facts are impressive, but it was the synthesis that I really appreciated. I should probably read it again.
