Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom
What I’ve been reading (2017-08-06)

2. Stephen R. Platt, Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom: China, the West, and the Epic Story of the Taiping Civil War .  Pseudoerasmus calls this the best book on the most underrated big war in human history ; he is right.  It also gives you a good sense of how 50-100 million people might have died.

What is going on in Syria? (model this) (2015-11-25)

9. This won’t end well.  Now go read a book on the Taiping rebellion .
