This is the book the CIA does not want you to read. For the last 60 years, the CIA has maintained a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, never disclosing its blunders to the American public. It spun its own truth to the nation while reality lay buried in classified archives. Now, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Tim Weiner offers a stunning indictment of the CIA, a deeply flawed organization that has never deserved America's confidence.

In Bucharest, Romania's capital, Kaplan discovered that few Westerners were reporting on the country - one of the darkest corners of Europe during the Cold War. In an intense and cinematic travelogue, Kaplan explores the history and culture of the only country in the West where the leading intellectuals have been right-wing rather than left-wing; a country that gave rise to the dictator Ion Antonescu, Hitler's chief foreign accomplice during WWII; a country where the Latin West mixes with the Greek East, producing a fascinating fusion of cultures.

Kaplan should be Ambassador to Romania
Revisado: 01-17-25
Lyrical in his prose, intensely rational and intellectual in his discourse, Kaplan is more than a journalist. His focus on Romania at such an early age while seemingly narrow is merely a benchmark against which he can review Eastern and Western Europe.
Like Barry Lopez' magical descriptions of nature, Kaplan carries one away with his intuitive insights weaving art, architecture, philosophy, religion and history into a delicious discourse.
A must read.

We think we know what an autocratic state looks like: There is an all-powerful leader at the top. He controls the police. The police threaten the people with violence. There are evil collaborators, and maybe some brave dissidents. But in the 21st century, that bears little resemblance to reality. Nowadays, autocracies are underpinned not by one dictator, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists, all of which operate across multiple regimes, from China to Russia to Iran.

Fervid and detailed overview of authoritarian strategies
Revisado: 01-11-25
A bold and brave stance on an increasingly effective and overwhelming penetration of democratic societies and polities by authoritarian states.
Anne and her husband are role models for conscious dedication to transparency and ethical behavior despite the challenges these efforts face.
A good overview to begin to understand the parameters of state misinformation and subterfuge.

On September 11, 1999, humanity made a monumental discovery in the vastness of space. Scientists uncovered an asteroid of immense scientific importance—a colossal celestial entity. As massive as an aircraft carrier and towering as high as the iconic Empire State Building, this cosmic titan was later named Bennu. Remarkable for much more than its size, Bennu belonged to a rare breed of asteroids capable of revealing the essence of life itself. But just as Bennu became a beacon of promise, researchers identified a grave danger.

A riveting 16 year space odyssey
Revisado: 12-28-24
One reads a headline of some distant unmanned space project, sometimes successful, as often a failure. What I had not fully considered was the extensive commitment of hundreds of scientists to dare the impossible and overcome the thousands of challenges that each project faced.
Human advancement requires focus, discipline, vision and self-sacrifice. This book reveals the ups and downs of one such inspiring venture.

In Disunited Nations, geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan presents a series of counterintuitive arguments about the future of a world where trade agreements are coming apart and international institutions are losing their power. Germany will decline as the most powerful country in Europe, with France taking its place. Every country should prepare for the collapse of China, not North Korea. We are already seeing, as Zeihan predicts, a shift in outlook on the Middle East: it is no longer Iran that is the region’s most dangerous threat, but Saudi Arabia.

Peter’s brilliance, objectivity and accuracy is only matched by his wit. He puts most scholars to shame as lame.
Realpolitik will become an essential part of the US social, economic, political and military planning as diminishing resources and will to subsidize the world force a somber reallocation of priorities.
The forthcoming global depression will accelerate all of the above.

Edith Hamilton shows us Rome through the eyes of the Romans. Plautus and Terence, Cicero and Caesar, Catullus, Horace, Virgil, and Augustus come to life in their ambitions, their work, their loves and hates. In them we see reflected a picture of Roman life very different from that fixed in our minds through schoolroom days, and far livelier.

It began as President Ulysses S. Grant's bid for international glory after the Civil War - America's first attempt to reach the North Pole. It ended with Captain Charles Hall's death under suspicious circumstances, dissension among sailors, scientists, and explorers, and the ship's evacuation and eventual sinking. Then came a brutal struggle for survival by 33 men, women, and children stranded on the polar ice.

Exquisitely detailed narrative of Hall's North Pole Obsession
Revisado: 10-17-24
One of the most well researched and engaging adventure sagas of a dysfunctional and overly ambitious attempt to reach the North Pole. Not quite the epic nature of Shackleton's survival challenges but very intimate in allowing us to sense the humanity of each significant player.
Thoroughly enjoyable and educational.

Under the leadership of her fearless skipper, Captain Gene Fluckey, the Barb sank the greatest tonnage of any American sub in World War II. At the same time, the Barb did far more than merely sink ships-she changed forever the way submarines stalk and kill their prey.
This is a gripping adventure chock-full of "you-are-there" moments. Fluckey has drawn on logs, reports, letters, interviews, and a recently discovered illegal diary kept by one of his torpedomen.
