Summary: Joel Rosenberg is no Tom Clancy!
Review: This book is riddled with leaps in plot elements that require the reader to stretch the imagination beyond what should be neccessary in a "well crafted" novel. I also am appalled at the lack of research on Mr.Rosenberg's part. For instance, Rosenberg has F-111 fighter bombers screeming all over Iraq. Even a casual bit of research would have revealed that the last of the F-111s were mothballed in 1996. There are other errors such as when a federal agent uses a Smith and Wesson REVOLVER chambered in .45 ACP. Again, a bit of easy research would have revealed that in order to use .45 ACP rounds in a revolver requires the use of cumbersome half-moon clips- something I doubt any agent/officer would use. Mr. Rosenberg is no Tom Clancy! I'm sure Mr. Clancy must have cringed when he saw this bit of literary junk being compared to his body of work.

Summary: capitalizing on tragedy
Review: It really disgusts me to see how many authors have been using the events of (and surrounding) 9/11 to further their own political agendas and fatten their wallets.

Summary: The future is at hand...
Review: An exciting futuristic political thriller, by Joel C. Rosenberg, "The Last Jihad," is a story in which American president MacPherson has set plans in motion to destroy terriorist training camps in the Middle East and North America - Bin Laden has been killed but Hussein continues his quest ploting against the men of power in the West. The characters are conveniencing, the dialogue works, and the plot is anything but predictable, a delightful combination. (The Last Jihad, by J.C. Rosenberg, could very-well be in next 'Box Office Smash Hit!') John Savoy

Summary: Not Bad, Just Plain Awful
Review: I heard Rush drooling over this book on his show (the author is his friend) and because I like Rush I bought the book. Talk about a dull and boring read. Plastic charactors, slow plot development, confusing story line, I almost couldn't finish it. If you have a double digit IQ, this is a must read. If you can walk and talk on your cel at the same time, stick with Tom Clancy. I am very angry at Rush for promoting this garbage, I thought he was above things like that. It spiked to number one in sales after his show, but quickly has dropped to 700. The basement is in sight..

Summary: Not sure whether to laugh or cry
Review: I found this book to be another tired propaganda piece to continue manufacturing consent for George Bush's (GOP contributers) expansionist plans. Whether written entirely or partially before the Sept. 11 attacks which we still have no hard evidence with all the foot dragging and cover ups(kissinger..etc), it reeks of bias and hidden agenda.
I frequently visit my local independant bookseller in hopes of finding independant and intellectually stimulating material, this was not one. If I had a third thumb it would be 3 thumbs down and a ban on any more propaganda disguised as "entertainment".

Summary: It Made Me Anxious For Weeks!
Review: Fictional tales can affect real-world politics. Nearly a century ago,Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" led to the passage of the 1906 Pure Food & Drug Act. Now, Joel Rosenberg's "The Last Jihad" could realistically push public opinion and the President toward an invasion of Iraq. His cautionary tale warns Americans and Israelis of what horrors could come if we remain inert for another 7-8 years and let Saddam Hussein acquire nuclear weapons. I don't normally finish a book in just a few days, but this one I had trouble putting down. Now I'm afraid it's going to be giving me nightmares for weeks to come. I can't wait to see the film version, which some smart Hollywood studio should acquire the rights to IMMEDIATELY.

Summary: Miles short of the hype
Review: Sorry, Rush, your politics are right on, but your taste in novels is lousy if you think this one is a dandy. I don't know how anyone can read this novel (I made it for about 30 pages) all the way through. If I can't find at least one character in that span that makes me care one way or another about him...I'm outta there. $$ bucks down the drain...oh, well.
