Glemek , to World News in Mexican cartels boast of increased lethal firepower, including some weapons from the U.S.

Doesn't quite fit that exact archetype, but the Iran-Contra Affair is sortof in that same genre.

And without him they were threatening to have the production leave NZ, which would've put a bunch of his friends out of the job.

Glemek , to Fantasy books, stories, &c in I just watched this little documentary on Ursula K. Le Guin. I never heard of her before this. Does the community have one or two books they recommend?

LeGuin is one of my favorite authors. I've read a lot, but not all of LeGuin's novels. She has 2 main multibook series that I've read, the Earthsea books and the Hainish cycle.

Earthsea is sort of YA fantasy, but grows up throughout the series. The first 3 are a self contained trilogy, and my favorite is Tombs of Atuan which is book 2, I think would be okay as a standalone title. My other favorite is Tales from Earthsea which is book 5, and is a collection of short stories set in the setting. You'd be missing a little context only reading Tales, but this could also be a standalone.

The Hainish cycle is scifi, and are only loosely connected by the setting and don't have a too firmly established chronology, or any shared main characters. My favorite from the Hainish Cycle is The Left Hand of Darkness and my 2nd favorite is The Dispossessed.
