The Best and the Brightest

I bought three books yesterday, The Best and the Brightest, The Kingdom and the Power and The Guns of August.

I may hold off on the The Guns of August, having read it before. I also may want to create an online course using it. Possibly integrating it with a geographic tool.

I think I'll start the Halberstam book, seeing if it gives any insight into what is currently going on in Iraq. I enjoy his books, and will try to get a couple of more in the coming weeks. When I get The Powers that Be I'll probably read it as a companion to The Kingdom and the Power.
