| The best way to really get a handle on a subject is looking at the people, places and events surrounding said subject. The book omits the elements of the play-by-play of the violence of the famous terrorist attacks of the late-1990s and 2000s, howeve ...more | |

| I am a big Edward Zwick fan, and for whatever reasons, I’m two years late to finally reading his autobiography – which is brilliant. I only wish it was twice, or thrice as long because his prose is outstanding. Required reading by all in the industry ...more | |

| There is a lot in this book: Iran/USA relations, undercover CIA disguise operations, some film history, foreign policy relations of the 1970s. If you’ve seen the 2012 movie, it’s really only 1/3 of the entire book (the rest isn’t really “film-able”), ...more | |

| The only aspect I can fault the book for (although it lends to an accurate sense of disorientation), is the constant switching of the captors. On the other hand, because these different soldiers come and go, it indirectly buffers the sense of confusi ...more | |

| I had expected this to be about the logistics behind the assassination attempt, but it’s actually a recap of the 2024 election from the perspective of the Rust Belt. There is a lot of local history and review of social trends relevant to the state of ...more | |
