So I am really digging Radio War Nerd and especially all of the writing that Ames and Becher/Dolan do. like 'We the Spiteful', 'The Diary of Adam Gurowski', and 'The Confederate Generals who should've been hanged' have been right up my alley. Is there kind of a central 'best hits' that I can go through besides trolling through the websites they've written for? Or you can just link the good stuff.

Some War Nerd/Dolan articles I like:

Tom Clancy is Not One of Us
Reagan's Cheshire Snarl
A Million Pieces of poo poo (Dolan noticed James Frey's biography was fraudulent before anyone else but didn't get credit for it)
Jonathan Franzen: "Will Rim Bobos for Book-of-the-Month Fame"
Thomas Friedman: The Empire's Useful Idiot
Lord Byron: The Exile's Patron Saint

Specifically about wars:
Land of the Flies
Why Sherman was right to burn Atlanta
Congo: a Tutsi empire interrupted once again by do-gooders

As a Franzen/Friedman hater all of this is right up my alley. Thanks

Yeah the Frey takedown was amazing. Radio War Nerd is probably going to be my first patreon subscription
