Two books I'm wading my way through are War and Decision by Douglas Feith and Terror and Consent by Philip Bobbitt. Both are good. I have to keep a dictionary handy for the one by Bobbitt.

Just finished up Four Hours in My Lai by Michael Bilton. very disturbing.

Finally found a copy of the Devil's Guard by George Elford. It was reprinted in 1985 by Dell and is available in used copies on Amazon for a decent price. Unless you want to pay $300 for an original copy.

End of Faith by Sam Harris. A rationalist attack on the religious fundmentalists and their suicide vests. So far pretty good.

Before that, The Game by Neil Strauss. A book about the pick-up artist sub culture by an investigative journalist who spent 2 years becoming the love guru. You might learn something in it at the expense of your soul.

There were some other books, but I can not seem to remember them. . .

Just finished Rumsfeld's War and The Assasins Gate. The first is a very interesting read if you ever get the chance. Written by Dale Herspring who is a life long republican, and his thoughts on Rumsfeld. I would have expected his viewpoint from a democrat, but from a fellow republican, it is pretty scathing.

Currently reading The Ugly American, Fiasco, and Power Terror Peace and War (by Walter Russell) which is interesting to read while reading Fiasco at the same time. The authors come up with some very different conclusions on the Bush Administration.

Next Up The White Tigers and In the Midst of Wars.

William F. Buckley, Jr., The Reagan I Knew

This posthumously published work sketches Pup's friendship with Dutch.

Reagan is so easy to like, the fact that during the 1980s I didn't is a testament to how far up one's own butt an angst-ridden know it all teenager can put his own head.
