P Scoblic on Able Archer 83 Apr 22, 12:13 AM

by Paul

I’m a bit more than half way through Peter Scoblic’s excellent new book, U.S. Vs. Them: How A Half Century of Conservatism Has Undermined America’s Security. You should read it. Seriously. All of you.

Peter has a way with words. For instance, he describes (accurately, I imagine) the 1983 NATO Able Archer exercise as “bowel loosening.”

Spencer Ackerman, who, like me, had Peter as an editor, highlights another metaphor.

Happy Tuesday.
