Blood Meridian

I heard Jocko mention Cormac McCarthy is his favorite fiction author on Eric Weinstein’s Podcast, but he’s done only one episode on a book of his (The Road). Judge Holden, the greatest war character in fiction, gets no love?

“ It makes no difference what men think of war. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting the ultimate practitioner.”

Jocko doesn't like to cover fiction. First person sources and manuals. Study of human behavior through stress, struggle and war. I think to date he has only covered 2 specific fiction books.
