They didn't believe it because they couldn't fathom how a country could dedicate that much manpower and resources to such an endeavor while in the midst of a major war. |

I tried to get through Catastrophe: 1914 by Max Hastings and man, it's just so damn dry. It's a slog that's taken me several years and I'm maybe halfway through. Carlin gives you a lot of the same information (less detail) but in a much more digestible format.

Come drive tractor. I blew through Catastrophe on your recommendation. No problem. It was only 25 hours on Audible. I liked it well enough I listened to Inferno on WWII by Hastings. I listened to Rise and Fall of the Third Reich because Carlin referenced it a bunch. That mother****er was 57 hours long. That took a bit. Really ****ing good. But damn was it a lot. Blueprint was good for me because it was my first exposure to Carlin and I barely remembered anything about WWI from school. And Carlin hit all the right buttons to make it just ****ing awesome. I was in. All the way in. Carlin is a ****ing wizard. I've went back and listened to most of it. I still have a few to get through, but after I finish, I should probably re-listen to Blueprint to see how it holds up after I opened my eyes to the Carlin type history and listened to a bunch of books. |

Finally got around to watching this and was completely underwhelmed. It wasn't bad but did not get near techie enough for my taste.
