Unrestricted Warfare........

I have been reading Brad Thor's latest books and can't turn the pages fast enough. They are fast paced and exciting to say the least. On Sunday I posted about "Foreign Influence" which I highly recommend for a great read and I think many of you that come here and comment would enjoy it.


I instantly started in on "Full Black" which is kind of a part 2 to Foreign Influence. If you want to read them I would recommend you read them in order.


In the prelude to "Full Black" the author notes the following:

The attacks as well as the strategy in this novel are based upon a disturbing blueprint designed to assist in and encourage the destruction of America. This blueprint, entitled Unrestricted Warfare, is real.

While this book is a work of fiction, specific information was purposely altered in certain sections so as not to enable those that wish to do us harm.

Many of the vulnerabilities depicted in this novel continue to exist.

"Brad Thor" has an interesting background:


Brad has served as a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s Analytic Red Cell Unit, and is a fellow of the Alexandrian Defense Group. He has lectured to law enforcement organizations on over-the-horizon/future threats and has been a keynote speaker for the National Tactical Officers Association annual conference, and the Ronald Reagan 100 celebration. A strong supporter of The Heritage Foundation, Brad has spoken at their national headquarters on the need for robust missile defense. He also sits on The International Free Press Society’s Board of Advisors, and has served as a judge for the Sam Adams Alliance Annual Awards.


If you choose to get them I hope that you enjoy them as much as I did!

RE-Read List From High School..... any input??

I shut off most TV the beginning of last year (because it all SUCKS) and got back into reading. I have chosen some new books as well as books recommended at the various blogs I read.

I enjoy Steven King (his politics SUCK) and books on Paleo Eating and Low Carbing.
I enjoy Fiction, Science Fiction/ Fantasy, American History, Diet and Health.

Some of the titles that I have read recently are, in particular order:
The Dome
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
Unintended Consequences
One Second After
Molon Labe
1776
The Great Bridge
Undaunted Courage, Lewis and Clark
The Dark Tower Series ( Books 1 thru 7 in order)
The Primal Blueprint
7 Deadly Scenarios: A Military Futurist Explores War in the 21st Century
Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto
Anthem
Atlas Shrugged

The Lord of the Flies
1984
Citizens
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Day by Day Armeggedon
World War Z
Watership Down
The Fountainhead

Monster Hunter
Monster Hunter Vendetta

The reason for starting this post is that I have been rereading some of the books that I remember from my younger days. I reread the following two great books:

The Stand
Swan Song

and I just finished re-reading:

Fahrenheit 451, which was on my High School reading list. Now that I am older and wiser it was a great book that was hard to put down.

I am planning on getting:
Catch -22
The Catcher in the Rye
To Kill a Mocking Bird
Huckleberry Finn

What books do you guys/gals remember reading that are worth going back to??
