Wow, a Bay of Pigs and Operation 40 veteran? That does not get mentioned by Mills thus far, although he has been quite disparaging of the CIA in general.

I was pretty stunned by the origin story of the Sinaloa cartel being mentioned so casually, early in the book, probably because Mills didn't realize the implications -- he couldn't at the time.

I've been taking notes like crazy and will be typing up many more passages this weekend...because what's more exciting than that?

....buying a scanner...?

just ordered Henderson's book....was well down the wish list on price grounds but piqued to read it now....

I much prefer text to .png - although it is all the same onscreen. I also rather enjoy the act of re-typing good passages, and seem to recall HST did the same with Hemingway, no?

looks mighty tasty, good call...although, that cover looks quite familiar. I seem to recall seeing Henderson on RT or Al-Jazeera and being mightily incoherent while promoting that same work.

Still, I am in library mode. I have no problem reading deeply flawed books, so long as there's lots of details, citations and references.

Possibly related: just received a copy of "The American House of Saud: The Secret Petrodollar Connection" by Stephen Emerson. I'll let you know how it is.

I read Underground Empire a few years ago and was quite impressed, and immediately followed it up with the Big White Lie. The two of them together were quite informative and I highly recommend both.

This is great stuff. Thank you for putting it in here!
