I asked for grand strategy stuff but got a faint response, good luck though.

Have recently read and recommend:
Picrel
Considering:
Chokepoints by Edward Fishman
The Power Law by Sebastian Mallaby

amazingly, the best "book" on politics turned out to be ... /pol/. yeah, hear me out. everyone from non-/pol/, including myself, thought of them as troglodyte losers with an oversimplified worldview revolving around an ethnicity with funny beards and hats ... but ...

BUT just two facts:
1. there DOES seem to be a real-life high finance pedophile cult led by a jew, which had it hands in many world events, and the more you learn about it, the more disturbing it is
2. the USA is currently waging a war with global consequences mostly for the interests of Israel

reading /pol/ would've brought you closer to predicting these two facts than any le serious analyst was

I keep seeing Chokepoints recommended. I might pick that up.

>why there no good books on the history of later this afternoon?

>>25117662
Yeah, too bad that the board is infested with bots spamming pro-pissrael posts.

>>25117962
pol/ is pro-Israel?

Lol there's about 99% more anti-Israel post on it.

>>25118066
Not anymore, that entire board is filled with shills and bots now. The entire board changed overnight when the war started.

Is picrel worth getting? I admit I'm not the biggest American civil war buff but the logistics behind the conflict seem somewhat interesting. I already have Luttwak's Byzantine Grand Strategy and A Wess Mitchell's book on the Habsburgs, and I figured i could give this a go.

One of my main key interests is parsing the link between religion and politics and since Clausewitz's famous dictum about war as being a "continuation of politics by any means necessary" i figured i could dive deeper. Michael Burleigh's work on political millenarianism could be another avenue to explore depending on how much time I have this year, considering I'm studying World History at university to get the credentials to publish my own studies on the phenomena, and what pushes young men (and to a lesser extent, young women) to join revolutionary and guerilla movements as a way of enacting geopolitical change, as form of existential crisis aversion, especially in our fractured, contemporary world.

/pol/ was created by that pedophile jew. go to the doj website and search moot and look at the date.

but it's all a feedback loop where the quality posts came from smart resources and smart people who read smart books. pizzagate came from people who actually took the time to read the wikileaks emails. the jew hate came from people who actually read the International Jew, or the Grand Chessboard, or The Clean Break.

Although there's great discussion on /pol/, it's ignorant to equate it to actual reading

i guess zeihans books

Studebaker is one of the best authors of politics alive. he does jump to a few conclusions without properly explaining but these are few and far between

>>25119189
have you checked general reviews? as much as it sucks good reads is generally pretty good for getting a quick grasp on how decent something is

>>25117662
Literal subhuman IQ

I prefer authors who jump to unexplained conclusions because their explanations invariably reveal shoddy reasoning and lack of evidence anyway. I'd rather be dazzled by confident bullshit than disappointed by failed arguments.

I could, sure. I'll keep that in mind. Supposed to be getting some Dean Radin though this weekend.

this is fiction, but thematically it also deals with the geographical determinism argument, as well as the geostrategic shift from west to east. it would be enjoyed by any reader of history
