This here is the last line of something you have to read today: "If my snotty fourth-grade teacher had really been as peacenik as she thought she was, she'd have given me a B-plus at least, because by turning out to be a C-minus war for all concerned, 1812 did more for peace than all the Judy Blume books ever printed." See,*that's* how you write. In particular, War Nerd defines a new high in "how to write about history". I'm not saying you HAVE to read his new twelve part series on the War of 1812 <https://nsfwcorp.com/dispatch/twelve-days-of-1812-day-one>, but I'll definitely imply with winks and nudges that if you /don't/ you're less of a person. And here is where I go with schooling as well. Not a single page of any history book I read in school (or since) was anywhere close to the skill level Gary Brecher has with portraying his subjects, or his vastly digested knowledge of it. -dave -- INFILTRATE - the world's best offensive information security conference.
