pickGreat portrait of a creative genius. The power of curiosity.
pickIt does a spectacular job of honoring a man serving his country in a challenging time and environment. But if you seek a nuanced perspective of the Middle East you‘ll need a fuller picture of the impacts of outside parties. (US included) Bad guys torture/are barbaric, but good guys “apply physical pressure” in “difficult Q & A sessions”; is the tone. It‘s not academically balanced, but pragmatically assesses violence by various actors.
pickAn excellent read about the complex story of the Middle East. It‘s focused on the modern history of relations between political forces relevant to influence in the region, and highlights the acceleration of US involvement in the aftermath of Lebanon‘s civil war. The author does a good job of explaining Robert Ames and what made him so spectacularly good at what he did before being lost too soon. Great read!
