Anybody read Clark's book?

"Waging Modern War?"

I was wondering how it was. I'd be interested in getting to it at some point.

Maybe some info or links, please?

1. It's a heavy read

I'm still in the middle of it.

Lots of background information.

2. tell me about it, I'm reading "The Clinton Wars"

Clark is a fascinating man. Intelligent. Like to get into his head and look around.

3. I put "Waging Modern Warfare" down a while ago

I got caught up in "The Hunting Of The President" by Joe Conason.

This is a phenomenal book (similar to "Clinton Wars", from what I heard).

WMW is not a breezy read. Very specific. It's primarily about Kosovo and other conflicts in the 90s. Very military centered.

Clark is a very intelligent man, and the book reflects it.

I've heard good things about his second book, "Winning Modern Wars". Easy to get the two titles mixed up. This one, I haven't read yet.

4. maybe that might be the one I'd rather look at

it's all interesting actually.

Yeah, I need to get some of Conason's books. I'm backed up right now. Just bought somewhere around 15 books and I'm hammering them out as quick as I can.

5. Me, too

Reading "The Hunting Of The President."

It's like a true crime book. :think: It is a true crime book!

6. I have

and i liked it a lot. Clark is better at writing than speaking.

7. Waging Modern War

I read this book for a class on European integration a few years ago when I was studying abroad. That book (along with his other book "Winning Modern Wars) proves to me that he's the only first-class intellectual in the field. Not to insult the intelligence of the other candidates but Clark has a real intellectual and scholarly gift that I don't pick up from the other candidates. He's the only candidate to have been published in scholarly reviews like the New York Review.

I found it funny but predictable that the anti-intellectuals jumped all over Clark for his time travel/wormhole comments, but the thought that the man keeps up on theoretical physics blew me away!
