Go watch Armadillo because some weeping vagina doesn't want it corrupting your innocent minds. Oh and Denmark.

If so, I recommend Imperial Life in the Emerald City and Little America by Rajiv Chandrasekaran. These are blow by blow books about how America squandered its opportunities in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's all there: Incompetent civilians, greedy contractors, and military leadership bound and determined to fight the war they want to fight rather than the one going on around them. Chandrasekaran is never melodramatic, he doesn't spend the book hitting the reader over the head with his personal theories about who is to blame or why, he simply lays out the record of failure in meticulous, even-handed detail. These books will break your heart, but you need to read them if you want to understand why the last decade has been such a clusterfuck for American foreign policy.
Seconding both of the. I can't wait to see what he writes next.
