This is a "heads-up" for presentations on what sound like promising
books (well, in my humble opinion).

If By Sea: The Forging of the American Navy - from the Revolution
to the War of 1812

The Candy Bombers: The Untold Story of the Berlin Airlift
and America's Finest Hour

"Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad"

Here’s a TV headsup for the interview of Andrew McCarthy, the lead
prosecutor of the “Blind Shiek” and his crew for the 1993 World
Trade Center bombing.

The show is starting in a few minutes and will be re-broadcast a
few more times (all times EASTERN):
Sunday, June 22, at 9:00 PM
Monday, June 23, at 12:00 AM
Sunday, June 29, at 12:00 PM

I saw the interview when it was broadcast yesterday and it was excellent
AND chilling. McCarthy is no-nonsense about the continuing threat
from Jihad in America and concerned the legal authorities are drifting
back to a “September 10” mindset.
He also blasted the recent USSC decision about the Gitmo detainees.

A bump...the “Willful Blindness” interview (concerning the 1993 WTC bombing)
is airing now.
