These essays are his grapeshot: aimed at the stupid, the pious, and the powerful, fired with a precision and a contempt that recalls Swift and Bierce. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere you'll find a Berkeley Boomer who watched Reagan's California gut the public university and never forgave anyone. A man who went to Iraq to teach alongside Bush-Cheney true believers and came back to tell the tale. A literary assassin who dissected James Frey's fraud while every outlet in America was still applauding. A wanderer who drove from Seattle to Vancouver to feed the crows, and found in them what he couldn't find in any congregation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese are essays about war, drugs, poverty, literary fraud, political hypocrisy, and the strange dignity of crows - written by a man who was too honest for academia, too literary for journalism, and too funny to ignore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo the Crows\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone who followed the eXile, the War Nerd, or Radio War Nerd - and for anyone who suspects the consensus was always wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Dolan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798189459238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"John Dolan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49002336223487,"sku":"9798189459238","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-the-crows-john-dolan-9798189459238","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
