Garrett is a mensch and a great author.

I have given “Only Plane in the Sky” to many friends and family members and look forward to reading “Raven Rock.”

Once again, Chris, you are right. I read "Threat Matrix" a few years back after I saw Garrett on one of the shows. Dang good book and he does great work. Honest and well researched. Thanks for the reminder.

I've always wanted to read that 9/11 oral history.

The AP has a Vermont bureau? What do they report on? Maple syrup? The ongoings of Ben and Jerry?

There are #GOPs and there are #MAGAT(s). We only poach the BEST #GOPs aka "Independents" now! No #MAGAt(s) allowed!

Do not miss out on "When the Sea Came Alive". Audiobook especially.

Raven Rock is a fantastic book. (Don't get me wrong, everything Garrett does I enjoy, but this tickled my pleasure centers.)

Raven Rock's a great book!! As for the Only Plane in the Sky, it was a significant emotional experience to read and serves as an incredible testimony of those we lost that horrific day.

I hope you will write a review of Raven Rock once you finish reading it. Thanks for introducing us to Garrett and thanks for all the work you do.

I will definitely look into Garrett's work and follow him .

Garrett’s book “The Only Plane in the Sky” is a must read

His book on Watergate is far and away the best book on the Nixon scandals available.

Sounds like a fascinating story. Think I will order it myself. Thanks for the tip!

I just ordered two of his books from Amazon. I love a historian. Thank you for the recommendation.

Just a good concept overall: "cool, admirable people we like"... don't hear that much in DC

His podcast for the only plane in the sky was also superb - all of them are, of course! - Long Shadow has a series every season (so far) and he is absolutely my favorite!
