You also know that I try out everything that gets advertised on TAH, so I read the book last time the ad was here &#8211; and I think you&#8217;ll like it. Not only is it a good fictional story about terrorist-thwarting activities, it&#8217;s also a story about competing political philosophies. A couple of times, the characters get into some political discussions that you will enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>And best of all, the liberals get their comeuppance in the end when their reach exceeds their grasp and they try to use dead US troops to climb the political ladder.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that Mr. Howell has some experience in the intelligence community as a naval officer, so he knows what he&#8217;s writing about, but the politics of the novel were a pleasant surprise. I really think you&#8217;ll like the book, so click on the link to your right and take a look at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have noticed the ad in the sidebar for the book &#8220;Expendable Assets&#8221; by Drew &hellip; <a title=\"Expendable Assets; a book review\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=24029\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Expendable Assets; a book review<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[164,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-review","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24029\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
