Very controversial opening to this piece! Claiming that in hitting January 2025 we're a quarter of the way through the century... (you may indeed be correct, I'm not going to count it all on fingers and toes.)
Disciplined Minds sounds very interesting. Radical professionals ... a rather tricky concept I reckon!
I wonder why you enjoyed it less on the re-reading? But thanks for the tip, I'll try to avoid re-reading the Master and Margarita (although I did see a pretty good dramatic version of it at Belvoir St Theatre a year or so ago.)
Fwiw I'm half way through Dark Arena by Jack Beaumont (penname) a novel about the inside workings of modern espionage as conducted by major powers. 'Jack' is an ex-French spy who writes well and convincingly provides insight into the methods and manipulations of (our, let's assume) government agencies (allegedly on behalf of us all) which are indeed very dark.
