How did you guys manage to miss the 100th anniversary of Bloody Sunday?
That, as they say, is on me (John) and I guess it's because I worry that having spent years steeped in the whole Irish Nationalist context, I talk too much about it. Maybe I bend over backwards sometimes and talk too little.
Ames makes a comment in the intro of this episode (may not be featured in the free preview I'm sorry) where he's reading a book about the formation of us foreign policy at the onset of the cold War. Anyone have any clue what the book is titled? Would love to dive into the topic as well
