Mark Steyn

America Alone: The End Of The World As We Know It

For those of you who are familiar with Mark Steyn, he needs no introduction. His latest book (Released today 10/16/06) is a great read. His take on the war on terror and a look down the road 10-20 years is an eye opener. If you have young children, Mark paints a picture of what the world may be like during their adult lives. The book is both entertaining and sobering. I have included the review links here. They will connect you to some of people who are still awake in this world. HG
--------------------
"This is the best book I've read since the founding of American Compass in '04."Brad Miner, American Compass Book Club

"Mark Steyn at his best: funny and irreverent, even while assembling well-reasoned and complex arguments in support of serious insights."Mac Johnson, Human Events

"For anyone who has constraints on their time but a desire to know how we arrived here and what is ahead, there are four indispensable books... Mark Steyn's America Alone is exactly the sort of unsparing dose of realism that Americans need to absorb, and soon."Hugh Hewitt, "The Indispensable Bookshelf: The Books You Absolutely Positively Must Read", townhall.com

"An absolutely fantastic read."Neal Boortz(Mark will be on Neal's radio show on Monday October 16th at 10.30am Eastern)

"Mark Steyn's excellent and important new book"Stanley Kurtz, National Review

"Mark Steyn is one of Canada's most gifted political writers, a man weirdly able to provoke laughter while forecasting the end of the world"Linda Frum, The National Post

"Mark Steyn fa la Cassandra (witty)"Giulio Meotti, Il Foglio

"Mark Steyn's superb new book."Michelle Malkin

"Mark Steyn is the funniest writer now living. But don't be distracted by the brilliance of his jokes. They are the neon lights advertising a profound and sad insight: America is almost alone in resisting both the suicide of the west and the suicide bombing of radical Islamism."John O'Sullivan, editor-at-large of National Review

"The best thing about Steyn's latest isn't that it's clever and funny and beautifully written - of course, it's all those things - but that it's persuasive. Buy a copy for yourself and another for a friend who perhaps hasn't reached a conclusion on this whole terrorism deal. Also, there's a paragraph on page 152 that will cause peacenik heads to implode."Tim Blair
