From Third World to First
"Read this over shabbat. Learned two surprising things: 1. Just what a touch-and-go affair the founding of Singapore really was, and how it all could have come to nothing. Also, how desperately poor and fractious the city-state was on its founding. https://www.amazon.com/Third-World-First-Singapore-1965-2000/dp/0060197765"
The Decadent Society
"Yes, great book. And he's absolutely right."
Reentry
"Reading Reentry by @SciGuySpace, and it's a rollicking read about how Elon pulled off a series of risky, miraculous bets to make rockets reusable things, rather than one-off productions. Astounding what a touch-and-go affair SpaceX was early on, college hackathon level stuff."
The Day of the Jackal
"Two of Forsyth's many books, Day of the Jackal and The Dogs of War, were just spectacular thrillers (and films) that encapsulated the post-WWII European drama round politics and decolonization. Just nothing like it today."
The Dogs of War
