'The Cold War' by John Lewis Gaddis
President Truman = underrated!
'The Rebel Sell: How the Counter Culture Became Consumer Culture' by Joseph Heath & Andrew Potter
How the so-called 'counter-culture', far from subverting 'the system', in fact underpins 'competative consumption', in which the need for hipsters to differentiate themselves from 'the masses' is in fact a fundamental driving force in modern capitalism. Lots of fun analogies to arms races, which ties it in to the book above. :-)
'Story' by Robert McKee
Yes, I am writing a screenplay. Yes, the Robert McKee as played by Brian Cox in 'Adaptation'. Cross your fingers for me!
