If you just haven't had enough of my writing in the blog, Foreign Policy has published a piece I wrote for them, discussing the Fremen Mirage and its strategic implications:https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/05/02/hard-times-dont-make-strong-soldiers-warrior-myth/ …

The format for FP was necessarily a bit briefer, so there is more background in the original blog series, which starts here:https://acoup.blog/2020/01/17/collections-the-fremen-mirage-part-i-war-at-the-dawn-of-civilization/ …

And for the Dune-lovers, be sure to read the 'interlude' in that series (here: https://acoup.blog/2020/02/21/collections-the-fremen-mirage-interlude-ways-of-the-fremen/ … ) which does a close-read of Dune to show how the Mirage functions within that text in particular.
