Next up after Lakota America by Hamalainen and looking forward to it. I worked out of South Dakota in the 70s & 80s. One of my friend’s names was Littlejoy, an Oglala. It struck me one day where, and probably how his surname originated.Sounds good, you read this?

I have to go back now and read this again. Sheehan did a great job on lining up the actors and situations and pointing out how Vann’s perspective was spot on. I also want to see if anything is mentioned about the French, when WW2 in Europe was winding down, were hiring the Japanese military, who we were still at war with, to oversee their vassals, the Vietnamese, so they would not lose their SE Asia empire. Euro-colonialism at its best.Anyone interested in history of the 1900s should read "A bright and shining lie"
The story of America's debatable involvement in South East Asia.
I too have enjoyed Robert Parker's books - I also have enjoyed the Jesse Stone films.Reading one of my all time favorite writers. Robert Parker's "Perish Twice",
He is one of a kind and sad he has passed. Though several of his outlines have been preserved and very capable writers are bringing them to life in Parkers distinct style.
If you haven't read him give him a try. They are light but somewhat complex too who done its.
