Last Patriot - Thumb Up

Brad Thor's newest NYT bestseller, The Last Patriot, is a highly readable entrée to the global realpolitik of the aims of today's sophisticated counterterrorism efforts and the centuries-old struggle between fundamentalist Islam and the West. Thor gives creative twists (with explanatory notes at the end of the book where fictitious liberties were taken) and real time history lessons in this thriller. You will understand much more clearly why U. S. Marines sing proudly about serving their country " ... to the shores of Tripoli" and speak of themselves as "leathernecks" when you have finished this important read.

This reviewer gives it Thumb Up.
