I've been reading The Attackerman at least since the days of Danger Room at Wired as that is where his byline was a go to for me to read. I'm sure I had read his work before as he was covering beats that I had an interest in but slowly (actually it wasn't THAT slow) and surely I came to regard him as one of the most authoritive journalists writing about American Foreign Policy post 9/11.
Hardcore? Yes! Spin? No! (Check his Rumsfield Obit)
I followed him over to The Daily Beast after his stint at The Guardian. Now Spencer has a substack and tho at the moment I am on the free list I think it may be time to end my Beast subscription and move it over to Forever Wars.
Anyway I hope at this very moment my copy of his book is winging its way across the world to me here in Melbourne. I may just be an old disability pensioner with all the poverty that that entails but I tell you my mind is far the richer for reading Spencer over the years.
Oh and did I mention he is drumming on a forthcoming punk album (a 23 minute punk rock opera album actually) about The French Revolution?
