What are we reading?

[The Night Rider]

found this copy of It Can't Happen Here for 3 bucks at the ARC next to the VA.

Considering the times that we're living in I think it's appropriate. I'm convinced that not only can it happen here it's about to.

So the book next to it, I don't know how many of you remember the old TV mini series V.

According to the preface of the book A.C. Crispin wrote the original manuscript as a retelling of It Can't Happen Here.

When he submitted it to whoever he submitted it to in Hollywood They didn't really want the political content but Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica TOS were really popular.

So whoever ended up producing the miniseries told A.C. Crispin to rewrite it with the bad guys as space aliens.

It didn't show up so much on the miniseries but if you read the book the subplot is very obvious. They even have a few Jews as characters who are telling people "This has happened before."

I haven't read all of I can't Happen Here yet but I want to read it at the same time as I reread V so I can compare the parallels

Lol No it is selected articles from Fred Bears actual field notes. Loved the Ted song about Fred Bear though met them both, at way different times. I have a Bear Grizzly recurve I picked off the ship floor many years ago and he was gracious enough to personally sign it.

My boy hood hero, I still wear a Fedora hunting because he did lol.

Among other titles, I'm one hundred pages into Warren Zanes "Petty: The Biography." Highly entertaining. Walter Mosley and Michael Connelly are on-deck and "in the hole."

The gold standard defensive handgun book, IMHO
