About this ebook

A gripping and prescient tale from New York Times best selling author Joel C. Rosenberg. "... The Last Jihad absolutely crackles with high energy and a chilling premise--what if the war on terror goes nuclear." -- Rush Limbaugh

Jon Bennett is a top Wall Street strategist turned senior White House advisor. But nothing has prepared him for the terror that he will face. Saddam Hussein dispatches his top hit men to assassinate the President of the United States. Iraqi terrorists spread carnage throughout London, Paris, and Riyadh . . . and the Butcher of Baghdad has a nuclear ace in his hand that he has not yet played.

Only a solid Arab-Isreali coalition against Iraq can keep the U.S.--and other Western nations--from certain devastation. And only Bennett and his beautiful partner, Erin McCoy, can make that happen. Their secret project--a billion-dollar oil deal off the coast of Gaza--could be the basis for an historic peace treaty and enormous wealth for every Isreali and Palestinian. But just before a treaty can be signed, Isreali commandos foil an Iraqi Scud missile launch, recovering a nuclear warhead and evidence that the next attack will level Washington, New York and Tel Aviv.

Now, the Isreali Prime Minister gives the American President an ultimatum: Melt down Baghdad within one hour . . . or Israel will do it herself. From Jerusalem, Bennett and McCoy must summon all their stealth and savvy to save themselves--and the world--from absolute destruction.

Ratings and reviews

I really wanted to like this book but it was just too much information. Every major and minor character had a long backstory . There were so many names thrown around with what they're long job descriptions and how they got there it that it became a very tedious read to the point where you almost forget who the major characters are because you're trying to keep track of the new names you were given not realizing that they really dont matter. Another problem was sometimes the book was too detailed, I would like to be able to imagine how expansively decorated the table was on the private jet, I dont need a full page of soldiers or agents doing their check off clearance. All of this just made me skip through the paragraphs so I could get to the end. I will say that the action was breathtaking and held you in it. This was the first and possibly the last book I'll buy of his. It's not a bad book I just don't like being overly saturated with detail because I have a huge imagination and like to use it when reading.

This book is made of paranoia and it's absolutely loss of time and money. Just to tell you as a person from middle Asia if ever Israel attack any country Iran or any other country there will be no Israel anymore. So do not listen to these stupid comments and books or news.

He's honest about how even Christians will sometimes revert to their old ways of talking under stress; and it's okay because we life in God's grace.
