How do you source things to learn about politically charged topics?
Real example(and happy for recommendations): I want to learn more about Iraq War. Holistically, the context of Sadam and Bush Sr. to the “rebuilding” and debaathification.
Depending on how I search I’ll get results of how it’s all about oil, all about enriching military insiders, etc etc.
I know with history there isn’t always exactness, but I feel like I can do better than choose my own adventure / looking to confirm priors
