Unwarranted Influence: Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Military-Industrial Complex
Favorite Ike quote so far
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed . This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with half a million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8000 people....under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

I just finished Caleb's Crossing: A Novel. Before that I read Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague. Both books are by Geraldine Brooks.
I got the titles as a recommendation from GoodReads. Clearly I like historical fiction as I enjoyed both books!
I'm off to read my new acquisition. .Some people "go" through life and other people "grow" through life. -Robert Holden

Reading a rock climbing book (partially so I can get all the flippin' lingo down), as well as Out of Africa.
Anyone have some suggestions for me? I'm trying to find something along the lines of Krakauer. I've read most of his stuff and haven't found another author like him that keeps my interest and isn't too heavy on the technical jargon.Keep pulling up stakes. Friend me on facebook.

John Vaillant author of The Golden Spruce: A True Story of Myth, Madness, and Greed and The Tiger. Similar style as Krakauer imo.
He does dive a little too deep into the topic. After reading Golden Spruce I am dang near an expert on the history of logging in the US/Canadian Northwest.

I'm 54% of the way through "A Stolen Life" by Jaycee Dugard. She has an incredibly positive attitude that allowed her to survive.
As a guest of my friend Joelle, I had an opportunity to hear the two officers speak about discovering/freeing Jaycee. The officers were being honored for their roll in Jaycee's freedom.
