Also, here is a reading list about intelligence — someone’s top 10. Top it off with a top 10 on cybersecurity.

Speaking of which, here is an introduction to the future of forever war, chased by a look at future terrorist weapons.
Plus, what you need to read about the Iran deal. Speaking of which, here are the books President Obama took on vacation. And here is a list of the best bios of each president.
