Conspiracy theories remind me the old Dennis Miller joke about getting high not being bad, it's the people you get high with that are the problem. It's not that all the theories are so bad, it's the horrible people who have them.

A flawed, dry, but solid and valuable book (The Great Cold War by Barrass), and one that occasionally shows why it's important to read Cold War "insider" histories and analysis not from the US (or USSR). https://t.co/mPZGpIxuGA

Ah damn, Martin Amis RIP. One of my early prose leading lights, especially London Fields and his non-fiction. Pyrotechnic.
