This is a weekly thread in which we read through books on and related to imperialism and geopolitics. Last week's thread is here.

The book we are currently reading through is Empire's Workshop by Greg Grandin. There are two main editions, to my knowledge: the original one with a yellow cover from 2006, and an updated version from 2021 with an orange cover. I am reading the latter version.

Please comment or message me directly if you wish to be pinged for this group, or if you no longer wish to be pinged.

This week, we will be reading Chapter 1.

Next week, we will be reading Chapter 2.

Sweet! It forces me to actually read lol

Chapter 1:

Ch1 Mirror

If the chapters get longer which I assume they will they might be too large to upload to hexbear directly lol. But its a fun gimmick while it lasts
