Ex Philly mayor Michael Nutter, who is African American, unloaded on the White, progressive DA: “I have to wonder what kind of messed up world of white wokeness Krasner is living in to have so little regard for human lives lost, many of them Black & brown.”https://t.co/aaIK84iSbh

And for all the instant experts telling me I have no idea what happened in Afghanistan, I humbly suggest you read the chapter on that subject in my book "Invisible Armies: An Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present." https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Armies-History-Guerrilla-Warfare/dp/0871406888 https://twitter.com/MaxBoot/status/1500914071998238723

Want to give belated props to @viet_t_nguyen. I finally read “The Sympathizer” and it’s as good as everyone says. A flat out masterpiece. One of the two best novels of the Vietnam War (the other is “Matterhorn” by Karl Marlantes). Can’t wait to read “The Committed”! https://t.co/xbtWIoj0FE

If you want to understand the Ukrainian way of war, you could do worse than to pick up, as I recently did, a 1954 book called “Strategy” by the influential British military thinker Basil Liddell Hart. https://t.co/IOCv1hhvQO

JFK: The Book of the Film

Oliver Stone
Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Good list. So many great movies like "Battle of Algiers," "Manchurian Candidate," "Dr. Strangelove," etc.! But... where's "Seven Days in May" and "Network"? And why include Oliver Stone's JFK? It's a pack of lies from start to finish. As I noted: https://t.co/fVOfq0SNF6 https://t.co/MvhC23u4E5

Normal People

Sally Rooney
Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Sally Rooney doesn’t want her new novel published in Israel, but her bestseller “Normal People” was published in China by a publishing house with close links to the tyrannical Communist regime. That bespeaks an inexcusable double standard. My latest. https://wapo.st/3aQqKOc

Trial

Richard North Patterson
Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸

.@RicPatterson’s new novel is out. I’ve read it and recommend it highly. It’s a gripping legal thriller set against the backdrop of the fight for voting rights in modern Georgia. Verdict: It’s a great beach read and a compelling portrait of modern America. https://t.co/RlHJp4eTnw https://t.co/mcY5CBSmjH
