Humbly trying to augment my history knowledge. Early CIA era was just awful. It’s shocking

Definitely reading this with a grain of salt, as it’s pretty sensationally written and even crass at times. But that being said I’m still learning stuff. Even somewhat widespread use of Pervitin (think meth, but make it 1930s) a) in a military campaign and b) from over-the-counter (!) purchase in civilian life, for instance, def warrants a story in my book.

Anyone interested in economics should read this and Michael Lewis’s SBF book. What a shitshow crypto is. I knew it was a shitshow but I didn’t mechanistically know *why* until these two books and it’s even worse than you would think.

Haven’t had meat or fish after starting this book. This is one of the most motivating (and heartbreaking) books I’ve read in ages.
