13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened In Benghazi
Review Date: 5/10/2015


While this book is not focused on the political clusterf*** of the Benghazi terrorist attack, it
does provide enough detail to thuroughly enrage me
about the Obama administration's lack of response
to this crisis and makes me question the politicians
support for our brave men in uniform and civil service.
I would recommend it to anyone interested in knowing
more about what happened from people that were there
and not the politically correct bulls*** from Washington.

A continuation of Cornwell's Arthurian saga, this book fits well with the genre. If you like semi-historical fiction, rousing shield walls, family strife and just plain good reading, you'll like this book. If you don't,
you'll be wasting the time you could be reading some soppy romance novel or watching "dancing with the fading stars".

Book is an excellent reference, with or without the DVD series. Wonderfully illustrated with commentary that makes the music and the people who make/made it come alive. Excellent choice for anyone who enjoys American music.

Fascinating account of early days of television, the introduction of new animation technologies and of the interesting and amusing characters behind Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Lee Child has an independent hero that is always entertaining, resourceful and keeps you
on the edge of the chair. The only bad thing about this book is it's hard to put down
and not read in a single session.
