The Last Jihad by Joel C Rosenberg
This is the first book in a series. It was written just prior to the 9/11 attack. The author shelved the book for a year. In 2002 he brought the book to the publishers and it went into printing. Why the delay? Because what he was writing about was a work of fiction that almost came true.
We know the history of what happened on 9/11 and what the US did in response. That the war on terror did not stop until it included Iraq. In this story, written before the US went to war in Iraq, Joel wrote this story. It is interesting to see how he thought the war on terror was going to unfold.
If you want to know one possible scenario, what could have happened if the US didn’t invade Iraq when it did, then this is a good story.
I quickly read through the book. It is was quite enjoyable. I recommend it.
Hi Joe – just a quick ‘miss you!’ note. Can’t wait until you can make it out to Church – I miss my hugs!!
You say this was the first book in a series ? I hope we don’t have a series of 9/11’s between books. Maybe this guy should change to a movie producer.
