I am an avid reader and have been for years. This is one book I will never forget reading. I gave two away and bought another for me. I will probably read it once a year to keep my spirits up and hope for a bright future. Yes it is a novel and but it is a historical novel in some ways. The history woven in is a fantastic way to learn something real. I highly recommed it. It will make you laugh, cry, get angry,scare you, cheer and wake up what tiny spark of Freedom burns in your American Soul.

It was my understanding that Mr. Ross has a second novel in the works.

So does our very own freeper Travis McGee and his first book has even been the subject of a favorable review by Mr Ross.

That's a great book.

I would also recommend the following:

"Enemies Foreign and Domestic" by Matt Bracken (he posts here as Travis McGee)
"Molon Labe" by Boston T. Party
"Nation of Cowards" by Jeff Snyder
"Principles of Personal Defense" by Jeff Cooper
"Boston's Gun Bible" by Boston T. Party

Another Freeper recently mentioned this book, so I Googled it and found this post. This book is over $100 used on Amazon. Any ideas on how to get a copy that won’t equal the cost of our grocery budget for the week?

“No, I-” he started to say, then stopped. “Well, yes, of course I still wonder where he is,” the President corrected himself, “but that’s not what I was thinking of just now. Jews don’t eat pork, at least Orthodox Jews don’t, but do they raise it?”

“What on earth are you talking about?”

“It was something Irwin Mann said this morning. I had a lot on my mind and it didn’t register. Now it doesn’t make any sense. I’m sure I heard him correctly, though; his accent’s not that heavy. It was when I asked him if he really did have business to attend to in Missouri.”

“What did he say?” “He said yes. He said he had to go feed his hogs.”

Found your post thru scroogle scraper. This book is gaining new momentem. I purchased it this year and recommend it to everyone that I can. I actually see this playing out if the dims push more taxes down our throats, unemployment does not abate, and they take healthcare ... just my thoughts.

"Never forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t let him do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians." — Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith, Hope (2001)

And let me add another vote for Travis McGee's books( authored as Matt Bracken).
