One second after, One year after and the final day by William R Forstchen.

If anybody knows any books similar to these message me.

Agree with the 20 book Aubrey/Maturin (Master and Commander is the 4th book) series by Patrick O'Brien. Enemies Foreign and Domestic by Matt Bracken is great as well.

For REAL history, these are all total stunners:

"Operation Snow" - by Jon Koster
"The Iron Curtain Over America" by Colonel John Beaty.
"The Chief Culprit: Stalin's Grand Design to Start World War II" by Viktor Suvorov.
"Freedom Betrayed" by ex-President Herbert Hoover.
"Churchill's War" vol 1 and 2:" by David Irving
"Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War". by Gerry Docherty and Jim MacGregor

M Stanton Evans has a great book on Joseph McCarthy as well which is a worthy read.

Just listened to Waco by Jeff Guinn. I was 12 when it happened so I didn't know much about it. Pretty interesting stuff

Reading the Joe Picket series (23 Books) by CJ Box. Kind of modern western based on a Wyoming Game Warden. In book four.

For anyone interested in science, technology, engineering, or math:
Surely you're Joking Mr. Feynman: Adventures of a curious character. By physics Nobel laureate Richard Feynman. And his second book What do you care about what other people think?: Further adventures of a curious character."

Both books are hilarious. The first is about Feynman's involvement in the Manhattan Project. Likely to have a mind-expanding effect on anyone of any age with interest in any area of STEM.

I remember when that happened as well. At the time , I recall the official account being that the feds were at fault for the fire, although Jim (Janet) Reno would insist that it was a mass suicide.

Some 30 or so years later, I was back in school taking a psych class where the incident was mentioned in the text book, referring to the psychology of cults, saying that the official conclusion was that it was mass suicide.

Every time that comes up in conversation, I have heard a slightly different account. I'd be curious to read this book. There is also a documentary on Netflix now.

The author stated both sides but kind of left it to the reader to decide I feel like. Based on how much of a SNAFU it was its kind of hard to believe much from the Fed side, especially being not long after Ruby Ridge.

And "officially" the USG "would never commit mass murder of its own citizens," but do a Google search on Operation Northwoods and see if you believe them. My personal take, JFK should have PERSONALLY grabbed General Lemnitzer by the tie, PERSONALLY taken him out to Andrews and PERSONALLY thrown him down one of Air Force One's jet intakes.

Google search on Operation Northwoods

Just did… wow. I approve of your personal take.

Better yet, made his court-martial and then hanging Nationwide TV "pour encourager les autres." I suspect this is part of why the Deep State struck back at Dealey...

A book I've forgotten about that is interesting.
