By all means, everyone needs to read Kurt Schlicter's "Attack".
It's what can happen with a wide open border.

It starts with a 3 day blood bath attack on America and ends up with Antifa types being court marshaled and shot in the back of the head, America hit squads hunting traitors in Europe with .45's just to send a message, and Mexican cartels being wiped out.

Dune by Frank Herbert.

I have always wanted to read this series, I've seen all the movies even current new ones. These (2021 & 2024} were actually a pleasant surprise IMO compared to what we see nowadays.

Just started:



America’s greatest untold story: the United States’ rise to world dominance under the guile of Allen Welsh Dulles, the longest-serving director of the CIA. Drawing on revelatory new materials—including newly discovered U.S. government documents, U.S. and European intelligence sources, the personal correspondence and journals of Allen Dulles’s wife and mistress, and exclusive interviews with the children of prominent CIA officials—Talbot reveals the underside of one of America’s most powerful and influential figures.

Recommended book for military history buffs especially the Falklands war: The First Casualty by Ricky D Phillips. Brings to light how much the British and Argentina government covered up what really happened in the initial invasion. Anniversary of the start of that conflict is coming up : April 2 1982.

Jupiter Contact by author David Pankey. I recently read it as the author is my Dad (not his real name on the book). I actually enjoyed it but don’t know if that’s because I’m biased. It’s sci-fi/first contact kind of story. I asked if I could post it in a different thread and was directed to this one by the mod. I do think I’ve got my Dad to start lurking gd sometimes so maybe someday I’ll get him to join.

This was a pretty good book (told via interviews a la World War Z) but quite disturbingly possible premise.  I fear the US would not react as strongly as in the book.

Better than Schlichter's other books which are up and down IMHO.

Just finished Jumping from Helicopters, a Vietnam Memoir.  It was a quick read. I tend to like these type of books as they provide a POV from everyday people sharing their experiences in an effort to heal from them.

I finished The Oregon Trail by Parkman.
Great view of the Native Americans in the region and their behaviors in pre-Custer days.
I'm no bleeding heart against hunters and killing, but the waste practiced on the bison herds by the Anglos was pretty shitty.

Now, I'm reading the Tale of Two Cities.

I like his books, the one you mentioned before, this one, his biography of Michael Collins, and his book on the history of the IRA.  Another good book is "Stakeknife's Dirty War: The Inside Story of Scappaticci, the IRA's Nutting Squad and the British Spooks Who Ran the War"  link here.  Basically the head of the IRA's internal security squad responsible for at least 40 murders was himself an agent of British military intelligence; Stakeknife also worked for security forces in the Irish Republic.  

Peter Taylor wrote a series of books on all the armed players in the Troubles--each gets their  own book.  This is the link for the book on the British.
