An Honourable War?
Oct. 17th, 2006 04:46 pmA review of Honor: A History looks into the minds of the terrorists using history as a lens and tries to make sense of the actions of the Islamic states. I think it is a sound analysis.

The Spy's Guide to 1930s London
Mar. 1st, 2005 03:46 pmDue to the British Freedom of Information Act, MI5 has opened access to many items in the National Archives including a Soviet guide published in the 1930s giving advice on how to operate in London in the 1930s! Such fun. I would love to see a translation of the entire guide.
Unreal Aircraft
Dec. 16th, 2004 01:05 pmI found this amazingly cool site, Unreal Aircraft which details experimental, projected and other odd aircraft that did not see production. I stumbled upon it following a link from the Wikipedia B-70 Valkyrie bomber article (which I was looking up because I was considering updating my Champions of the 60s page). Anyway, it is a fun site to explore and filled with interesting information.
While visiting Wikipedia, I noted that their featured article for today is Doctor Who. How stylish is that?
