    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.
