Event...The pipeline book will be first out in 2012. Eventually, I want to expand it into a broader look at resource wars and the pathological competition for pipeline routes, a world in which the Great Powers are set to have their interests at variance and potentially collide and clash in various theatres in Central Asia and the Near East. If good journalism is the first draft of history, then the fact that Afghanistan is not even set in the context of the New Great Game is a striking omission. Some have dealt with it e.g Lutz Klevemann. Yet the war in Afghanistan remains wrapped up in half truth and propaganda at variance with the facts....Undergroundmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860176024061937664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116426834341076751.post-46021692977243103282011-12-06T23:18:04.460-08:002011-12-06T23:18:04.460-08:00Most of Fool's Paradise is actually completed....Most of Fool's Paradise is actually completed. The pipeline book is also mostly finished. I just have to organise the material and pay rigorous attention to the style and precision of the finished products before I send them off. To be honest, I have little idea about the practicalities of publishing. But the pipeline book I want out no matter if publishers want it. It'll be "samizdat" if necessary. These blogs are merely updates on such issues as Afghanistan. I can't put too much on here for obvious reasons.Undergroundmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860176024061937664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116426834341076751.post-63232164594870490442011-12-06T12:23:12.757-08:002011-12-06T12:23:12.757-08:00Very interesting post as always, Karl. You mentio...Very interesting post as always, Karl. You mention a book you're writing about Afghanistan, but I remember you mentioning another book you're writing called "Fools Paradise: An Anatomy of Britain in Decline". <br /><br />How's that coming along? Any idea when it will be released? Will it be an online release or are you going to get it published?<br /><br />Keep up the great blog posts! (p.s. I'm from Aberystwyth - and funnily enough I discovered your blog after seeing that film about Poland in the Aberystwyth Arts Centre cinema!)Trystan Morris-Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700220278063942144noreply@blogger.com
