been reading A Very Thin Line, Theodore Draper's exhaustive accounting of the Iran-contra affairs and it's sick. I can't remember the last historical account like this I've read that has such meticulous accounting on an almost day-by-day basis of the entire process. I've started taking notes to remember all the names passing money between intermediaries and across country borders. I'm glad somebody sifted through the 50k+ pages of publicized testimonials and records to present such a thorough critique of the donor class's ability to effortlessly step in to float American imperial policy making when Congress denied the WH the usual legal methods. this is the first book of his I've read so I'll probably check out more since my local library branch is accepting remote pick up/drop off requests now
