Still reading Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.
Didn’t really get much to read this week, so at same place as last week.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
For details on the c/Books bingo challenge that just restarted for the year, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and its Recommendation Post. Links are also present in our community sidebar.
I just finished listening to this. I was a wild listen/read. There is a shit load of illegal activity that goes on in and around Fort Bragg.
Who know that if you put thousands of people who are basically trained assassins who are highly trained at surveillance and clandestine operations they would start doing heaps of illegal shit?
Answer EVERYONE
The book spent a lot of time illustrating the incredible number of murders, drug over doses and drug trafficking that goes on in and round Ft Bragg.
The book also spends about the same amount of time illustrating how the GWOT basically fuels the world’s supply of Herroin.
On a personal note: I was in the Army for 6 years and Fort Bragg is one of those posts that is just revered in the Army. All I ever heard was how great things were there. It was interesting to learn about another side of that place.
And the utter lack of accountability and blank checks given to spec ops after the GWOT started!
