Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Fight of Our Lives, by William Bennett, was a departure from my typical book fare.  As the first political book I’ve read this year, I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I was glad to find that it was more than just a “slam Obama” book.  Granted, plenty of light gets shined on what the current administration has done to soften the public outcry against Islam, but according to Bennet and co-author, Seth Leibsohn, there is plenty of blame to go around among previous administrations, as well.

The authors did a great job of documenting their work, although quite a number of their quotes and illustrations were repeated throughout the book.  I felt that they were gracious in their treatment of the Islamic religion, and at the same time were very willing to speak the truth about what they had learned in their research about the true motives behind the religion of the enemy we are at war with.  Some of the events the book sheds light on were 9/11 and the Fort Hood massacre, and they took painstaking efforts to show how these tragedies were the natural outcome of the nature of radical Islam.  Sadly, the also show the way our government has buried a lot of the evidence that shows it.

As an example, Bennett and Leibsohn document that the official government report about the Fort Hood massacre never even mentions Nidal Hasan by name, and only mentions Islam once, even though Hasan had given a PowerPoint presentation that included many, as he called them, “Punishment Verses” from the Quran.  How a man like that who was totally supportive of the religion of our enemy was able to rise in the ranks of our own military is just one of the alarms the authors are sounding in the book.

This is a book well worth your time.  It will open your eyes to perhaps more than you want to see, and it is done in a way that doesn’t place it on the shelf with quack conspiracy theorists.  Credible, documented, and easy to follow, this is a book you’ll enjoy as much as you’ll need.
