While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within
Bruce Bawer
Broadway, 2007
Let's Hope That Europe Wakes Up!!!
There are many who will blast this book as being antiMuslim propaganda. That is complete nonsense (but as the author points out in the book, anything less than complete submission to the teachings of Islam will be viewed by Islamic extremists as being antiMuslim). This ...

The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion
Robert Spencer
Regnery Publishing, 2007
"The truth will set all free!"
I read this book with the hope that the PC gloves would come off. I am personally will versed in the history of Islam. This book will anger the purists who want to deny some the truths about the early days of Islam. Liberal but uninformed Americans will realize his ...

The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Islam (and the Crusades) (Politically Incorrect Guides)
Robert Spencer
Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2005
Buy this and educate yourself and family
After spending four tours in Iraq and just getting home from the last one, I can say that what is said in this book is correct.
There is no more the rising threat, but the threat that has already risen and is here in the US.
I suggest you, the reader, ...

The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality
Jerome R. Corsi
Threshold Editions, 2008
Detailed and Informative
Reading the negative reviews, it is clear that many of them have not read this book. I've just finished the audiobook and the statement that "this book makes absolutely no attempt to be objective in any way" is simply untrue and an outright lie. It certainly makes ...

Leaderless Jihad: Terror Networks in the Twenty-First Century
Marc Sageman
University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008
Somebody who gets it
Marc Sageman gets it. He explains in detail how the third wave of terrorists are more apt to adopt their extremist views through social discourse and the need to fit in. Many people believe that this war is ideologically based i.e. people are driven out of religious ...

America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It
Mark Steyn
Regnery Publishing, 2008
I hope world leaders have read this book, especially the liberal ones.
Facts have a way of enlightening how we examine the past, and this book is written in a fascinating manner that weaves facts in between some very humorous passages, yet does not miss the point of warning the West and free market democracies everywhere that culture ...

The Garden of Last Days: A Novel
Andre Dubus III
W. W. Norton, 2008
Homage to Larry Brown
It seems a lot of reviewers were disappointed, expecting a work like Dubus' previous one House of Sand and Fog. This book is different. It is dedicated to the late great author Larry Brown, and, frankly, reads like a Larry Brown novel, particularly Fay.
If you ...

Very very enlightening and informative
I have been blissfully ignorant of an impending threat until

Jihad vs. McWorld: How Globalism and Tribalism Are Reshaping the World
Benjamin Barber
Ballantine Books, 1996
The unity between religious fundamentalists and big business elites EXPOSED !
It's amazing how despite all the tragedies and wars, big business elitists are able to cash in on the damage while religious fundamentalists never get caught, much less held accountable. The idiots who show their hate of this book are from terrorist nations that have a ...

Terror at Beslan: A Russian Tragedy with Lessons for America's Schools
John Giduck
Archangel Group, 2005
Excellent read, but before you buy more books by this author, read this.
I found this was an excellent book. While the military is at war, America is at the mall, and this book aims to try and get our country of ostriches to pull their heads out of the sand and DO something about the possibility of a terrorist threat in American schools.

Stephen Coonts' Deep Black: Jihad (Deep Black)
Stephen Coonts, Jim DeFelice
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007
A great find
Techno thrillers are pretty much a guy thing. It is also surprisingly subjective. For example, I do not like the Clancy books, and I hate the W.E.B. Griffen books. However, the Coonts series of Deep Black books has struck a cord in me, and I devour them. There is just ...

Terror in the Name of God: Why Religious Militants Kill
Jessica Stern
Harper Perennial, 2004
From the mouth of extremists...
Jessica Stern provides insight to the behavior of religious extremists through her personal interviews with members of different religious sects in America and around the world. This is not written as an "edge of your seat" or "read one weekend" style of book. It is a ...

Above Empyrean: A Novel of the Final Days of the War Against Islamist Terrorism
Bruce Herschensohn
Beaufort Books, 2008
not just a thriller....
This book is a real page turner and way too close to current day reality to be comforting. But it's also an amazing love story. One that is told with subtlety; where what is not said is equally as important as what is said. My only sadness is that it ended all too ...
