In reading The Fight of Our Livesbrings you back to the dreadful events of September 11, 2001, America has waged an international war on terrorism. I found this book interesting to read even though I am not a fan of reading political science. The books brings insight to what is happening around us American's and brings to light the between the line inquiries. There have been dozens of terrorist attacks and attempted attacks since 9/11, including the recently foiled Times Square bomber. But while the Fort Dix terrorists were stopped in their tracks, an Islamist terrorist at Fort Hood unleashed hell on American servicemen and their families, shooting 45 and killing nearly a third that. Despite Maj. Nidal Hasan's shouting "Allahu Akbar" as he pulled the trigger, the official Pentagon report refused to mention Islam or use the word Muslim. And said the army chief of staff, "As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse." As authors, William J. Bennett and Seth Leibsohn show, for lack of clarity, conviction, and determination, America is on the verge of declaring preemptive cultural surrender in the war on terror. The Fight of Our Liveswill reinvigorate the discussion, reframe the debate, challenge the quitters, and embolden those who wish to win the war on terror. This book was not a disappointment to read.
