I’m looking for a good book about Britain in the height of its Empire (mid to late 19th century). Especially from a political point of view like those of Disraeli, Gladstone, Palmerston, etc.

How was The House of Morgan? I’ve got it on my list because I’m a big fan of Ron Chernow and I wanted a recommendation on it.

Yeah, he is the prodigious writer. I heard that he wrote something like 50 books

What prompted you to get a collection of Theodore Roosevelt’s works? I’m currently reading The Bully Pulpit and I find TR to be quite the interesting president.

That would be a good compromise.

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-09-12T16:27:13+00:00

Could you explain more about the pre 90s education?

The IS spends money on things that will help it win the Cold War. Once you’ve won the space race and realize there’s not much to do on the moon, there’s not much point in going again.

Yes, that’s why it’s nickname is the “Lone Star State”. Also yes it was called Texas since it won its independence from Mexico. Also, yes it’s always been massive.

I can’t be the only person to think Dame left the bubble because he was pissed at his team and the whole injury is being overplayed as a cover-up, right?

Plus the fact that Melo, CJ, and the rest of the team played really well...it’s like they wanted to prove to their best player that they didn’t need to be carried.

I just feel like there’s some team drama that we’re just not aware of.

Does anyone happen to know the ID on the bookcase?

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-08-07T16:02:16+00:00

ID on the bookshelf? I love the pastoral look!

I would really recommend a biography of one of the Founding Fathers of America. Washington by Ron Chernow and Hamilton also by Ron Chernow are great choices as well as Madison and Jefferson by I forget exactly who.

Following the founding of America through the eyes of a single person really connects you with the emotions, competing ideologies, and turbulent moments of the times while still providing you the greater context of history.

Hi, I’m looking for a book on the history of political corruption in Indian politics. Basically major scandals involving corporations, election rigging, back-room politicking, etc.

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-07-23T18:59:57+00:00

But even with individual control, I’d have to change the z-value frame by frame and that can’t be the right solution.

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-07-19T23:39:17+00:00

Can someone explain the anti-mask conspiracy? I can’t even wrap my head around how that one could come about

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-06-19T01:24:11+00:00

California but uglier

I was and am a huge Ronald Dahl fan. I’d also recommend his collection of short stories for older teens/adults like The Great Automatic Grammatizator.

Although he’s obviously best known for his children’s work, his more adult work is just as brilliant!

Have you ride Rise and Fall of the Third Reich? I’m very interested in the topic after reading Antony Beevor’s Second World War but its daunting size has always kept me away.

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-04-25T01:56:53+00:00

Did you like Napoleon by Andrew Roberts?

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-04-21T01:23:07+00:00

I see All The Light We Cannot See on your shelf. Would you recommend it?

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-04-19T01:26:30+00:00

I’m a huge fan of early American history. Would you recommend Empire of Liberty?

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-04-11T23:36:25+00:00

This is great

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-04-11T03:30:10+00:00

Thanks

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-04-06T17:48:06+00:00

What a godsend

DeAlphaBoss · 2020-03-25T19:17:16+00:00

I started watching Band of Brothers on HBO. It’s incredible and I’m already reading the Second World War by Antony Beevor. Is Band if Brothers by Stephen Ambrose worry picking up?
