A Primer on the War Against Islamist Terror May 5, 2008
20 out of 25 found this review helpful
If you want to know why we must fight and prevail in the war against Jihadist fascism, Oliver North provides us with a series of inspiring stories. This is a book for all Americans to read, and to remember. Bravo Zulus, Ollie, for once again giving us a ground-level sit-rep that we all must take to heart.

So many times people forget the day to day sacrifices that are being made by these brave soldiers. People become complacent and fall in to the trap of listening to what is fed to them by the media. This book recounts the true stories of bravery told by those whose lived through them. Col.North does an excellent job of bringing these stories to life. These stories are a testament to the necessary and vital work being done by our military to keep us all free and safe. These 'American Heroes', serve with Honor and that ideal is what so many can never understand. The stories and pictures in this book, will help people realize that our military personnel consider it a privilege to serve this great nation. Now more than ever, we need to hear these stories and remember what it is we are trying to defend against.
A book about American Heros by an American Hero May 5, 2008

People often forget the price of freedom and it seems that the people who complain the loudest about the sacrifices are the one that have never had skin in the game. Thank you Colonel for keeping the reality of the situation forefront and honest. Semper Fi!
Easy reading May 5, 2008

The book is loaded with pictures and short stories, most just a page or two, about American military men and women. The book is neither Republican nor Democrat. Lieutenant Colonel North makes the service men and women come alive through their stories, one after another. The snippets are page turners. You will read three or four stories every time you pick up this book because the stories are so compelling. This is the war told from the ground up by two guys who have "been there, done that." Even North's editor is a military man--an Army Ranger who flies helicopters.
