War Without End?

tags:

Come Home, America -- universally ignored by the media heavyweights -- has received a stunning review in Congress Daily (June 15, 2009). It was written by George Wilson, author of "Mud Soldiers" and other books and for many years the lengendary defense correspondent at the Washington Post.

On the other hand, he is the wisest reporter I know on military affairs and I am deeply flattered by his reaction to to my book.
