Clancy eh? You read much of his other stuff? I was born during the Cold War but just late enough to not remember it, so Clancy was really my first introduction to a lot of that, I loved him as a kid. Pretty sure I've read all of his stuff that wasn't cowritten with somebody else. Read some of that too but just wasn't as impressed.
I've currently got about forty pages left to go in Negroes With Guns by Robert Williams but I've been stuck there for a bit now. It's a fascinating and infuriating book, an up close look at the realities of desegregation in the Jim Crow South as well as an argument for armed self defense that I think you might find interesting. It's just infuriating to read and realize how little has changed in sixty years but whether we knew it or not we were putting his ideas into practice here in Louisville in 2020, can't help but think that's a bit of vindication for Mr. Williams (he's been practically ignored by history here).
I've read a little Clancy stuff, not the full roster though; I'm working through it as I enjoy it but intersperse it with other stuff...there's so many books huh?
I like the sound of that book you're reading...I will do some research (which is code for, I'm going to fucken buy it.) 🙄
There's a lot. I tend to binge on authors, find one I like and then try and read everything by them I can get my hands on. I read them all as a teenager, not sure if I'd be quite as engrossed by them now but they're a fun read.
Let me know what you think of it. Williams was well-known in his day and age but he's been largely ignored by history, which I suspect is at least somewhat deliberate. I only learned of him from my old college drinking/arguing buddy.
(edited to add) On an unrelated note, did you anger the Mossad's propaganda wing? Still trying to figure out why they keep downvoting us...
Isn't it interesting how some people fade away into anonymity and are largely forgotten or lost in history?
In relation to Mossad's Special Hive Force's, covert mission to downvote people who comment on my posts...is about me not them I guess, the dumb fuck thinks he's impacting my curation I guess. Just a bitter little person whom I will never allow to earn a post or comment reward on the blockchain...ever. Best ignored and not mentioned...let his own declining mental health spiral downwards while everyone else moves on oblivious and uncaring.
It is, the process by which they are lost is also quite fascinating. A massacre in a certain Tiananmen Square has been a rather interesting example to watch unfold.
Ha, yeah, I'd investigated after the first one but decided they weren't worth the effort of responding. Sometimes leaving people to their own devices is the best revenge.
Yeah, I guess it's best for let some nutbags do what they do and watch their mental health decline. This particular character will get my downvotes, and that of others, forever though.
