THE PILE GROWS DEEPER
No, I'm not talking about Zenpundit but of the pile of " to be read" books which has grown from a bedside table to a shelf. Just picked up Warriors of the Prophet, Colossus and Rise of the Vulcans yesterday. I'm a great admirer of Niall Ferguson, one of the few historians capable of rendering economic history as an enjoyable story, even if I disagree with him that American primacy constitutes an " empire".
By the way, bloggers could do worse than to have a recommended reading list like Marc Shulman's. ¶ 8:30 AM

I hope you enjoy Rise of the Vulcans. I loved it!
It made me realize how much of the Rumsfeld v. Powell news was media hype. There were policy differences, but the people in Bush's War cabinet go so far back that each understood the other.
It also made me former Deputy Secretary of State Richard A. Armitage's biggest fan. He is a hero in every sense of the word.

Hi Dan,
Yeah, it's been on my " must buy" list for some time. Picked it up in hardcover for $ 5 at a consignment-resale book shop.
The most important personnel links from Bush II run most frequently to the admministration of Richard Nixon.
