It’s easy to select nothing but new pieces as we try to find the best stuff out there on the Web. But often it’s nice to go back a little bit to find a piece of writing worthy of a half-hour or so of your time. Such is the case here with Jeffrey Tayler’s early piece on the Congo from the Atlantic Online (subscription required, sadly). Tayler is such a fixture in the travel and geopolitical writing scene now, it’s cool to take a look at one of his older pieces.
