Hell yeah we need more Horne posting here. Every single one of his books deserves immense attention from anyone seriously trying to understand the underlying connections for the past millennia.
The Dawning of the Apocalypse is soooooooo fucking good, every damn page is worthy of its own 10 page expansion of notes.
That one is on my list too, but I don't think I can follow up with it too soon. CR1776 was such a slog to get through those first four chapters. Fascinating stuff, but my man is in desperate need of an editor. I've been checking out his talks on youtube every once in a while instead.
I found this Youtube channel that just constantly uploads Gerald Horne appearing in random podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8MAryWjYYX3IUkmZfTnmug/videos
IMO, he's a slog much like Marx can be a slog. They just have too much they want to say, and it all loops back in on itself paragraph after paragraph of heavy punch 😂
Oh yeah, totally. Also, he's trailblazing so like you need that background info, but it's so much. And I'm not typically a history guy so my head was ready to explode at times. I realized about halfway through the book he kinda writes as if he's up on stage with a powerpoint running behind him, but he knows we can't see the pictures so he just puts it all out there.
Its one of those books where you can pop it open to a random paragraph and it'll send you on a night long tangent of research, forgetting why you were researching.
