Information is everywhere, Insight is power
Pothole of the Gods: Holy Wars. Proxy Wars. Bad Ideas.
What if the things shaping today’s world aren’t new at all?
Pothole of the Gods is a darkly funny journey through holy wars, proxy wars, revolutions, empires and the surprisingly long shelf life of bad ideas. Richard Murff blends on-the-ground reporting, history, and the occasional spectacular lapse in judgment into a geopolitical detective story. Pothole of the Gods connects ancient empires, religious conflict, modern proxy wars and information warfare into a larger story about power, belief and unintended consequences.
And the nagging question: Who pays when somebody else’s grand strategy goes wrong?
Today’s Crisis Didn’t Start Yesterday.
With experience ranging from trading floors to war zones, Murff teases out the reoccurring patterns out of our tortured history and how those patterns put our modern global systems under stress. Through his unusual lens you get the history, you get the strategy and you learn how to talk yourself out of arrest in Benghazi.
A comic but practical field guide through the history, geopolitics and bad assumptions that created the modern global systems and why they are coming apart.
