Introduction
A friend asked me for publications that would assist her child in presenting a paper supporting the US mission in Iraq. I was more than happy to help, but then I fumbled when it came to naming more than a few. This notebook is a comprehensive list of the primary sources of my knowledge on that and other subjects of political and historical concern. 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, War on Terror
The Looming Tower - Lawrence Wright
Fiasco - Thomas Ricks
The Pentagon's New Map - Thomas PM Barnett
The Man Who Warned America - Murray Weiss
America Alone - Mark Steyn
Mark Steyn isn't a great writer, in fact his book, America Alone isn't a very good book. I think he's way better as a radio commentator and columnist. So this effort seems a bit scattershot for me. But I think it's just the kind of book that someone like me needs to have read. It gives me a handful of double-ought shotgun shells of red hot facts to spew. By 'someone like me' I mean someone with a reason to defend America in the face of all the gibberish that passes as constructive dissent.
