United States of Jihad

A revealing and very scary look at the real threat that home-grown terrorism poses.

Lights Out; A Cyber Attack, a Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath

Lights Out: A Cyber Attack, a Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath is a cautionary tale. 

Ted Koppel's intensely researched book presents a scenario that trumps dystopian novels about zombies and plague because this threat is real.

I have been thinking about this review for over a week. If a cyber attack on the electric grid resulted in widespread, lengthy outages, the consequences would be catastrophic. Koppel's interviews with experts in many fields, both governmental and private industry, make this clear. 

Many believe it is a when, not an if, possibility.

Avenue of Spies by Alex Kershaw

Dr. Sumner Jackson is a U.S. surgeon who fought  in WWI, and worked at the American Hospital in Paris during the Nazi occupation. 

He, his French wife and his son Phillip, collaborate with the resistance and because he is an American surgeon, the Nazi's did not realize he is a collaborator until the end of the war. 

The family lives on Avenue Foch along with the Nazis who took over the mansions on the upscale street. 

A really good read.

Black Earth-The Holocaust as History and Warning, By Timothy Snyder

One of the most comprehensive & impressive works I have read about the Holocaust in a while;
Timothy Snyder approaches this terrible time from different aspects & totally changes how we
think about this timeline of history. Not like the usual Holocaust books that focus on the genocide,
rather, Snyder focuses on the politics & ideologies that made the genocide possible. A solid read.
