Re Fussell: Along the lines of Abbey but coming from a different direction.. From a Salon review..

salon1999.com

""the great thing about Paul Fussell -- besides his lean, witty, no-nonsense prose -- has always been his knack for pissing people off. His contrarian streak is a mile wide, and in books like "Class," "Thank God for the Atom Bomb," and "The Anti-Egotist" (his slim biography of Kingsley Amis), he can be counted upon to blast cant, pretense and sloppy thinking wherever he finds them. Even better, his elegiac literary sensibility -- most fully on display in his classic "The Great War and Modern Memory" -- prevents him from sounding like a mere attack dog. He's more than just one of our most reliable and engaging social critics -- he's a national treasure. "

I think you will find him entertaining and thought-provoking..
