..I thought I’d mention that I’m now writing for the blog War is Boring run by freelance journalist David Axe. Axe is what I would consider America’s answer to Max Hastings and so far has been on just as many journeys into war zones as poor Max had. It is probable that some of Axe’s material (written word, photographic or otherwise) you have seen when reading about conflict in Afghanistan, East Timor, Iraq and on the high seas off of Somalia.
I’m starting at a much more humble level as a reviewer of books. I have already reviewed two with a third well on the way and so far it has been a very rewarding experience!
So check out the blog and add it to your list of RSS feeds to read!
Like a rambling, coughing shambles coming out of the darkness! Here is what I’ve been looking at this week:
- Iranian Supreme Leader, state media get a little confused about the purpose of YouTube and Facebook.
- War is Boring tries to bring a little sanity to the debate on the War in Afghanistan.
- While The Economist reminds the world the issue of the religious icons and traditions in Western Liberal schools isn’t as clear cut as those for and against make it.
- WIRED Magazine meanwhile has an article over how the US Secretary of Defence, Robert Gates, has changed the world of defence planning in the USA forever.
