Publisher's note

The best-selling author of The War in 2020 imagines a post-apocalyptic war launched by America in retaliation against Islamic extremists who have used nuclear weapons to destroy Los Angeles, Israel, and parts of Europe, a battle that is complicated by anti-Muslim Christian zealots.

The best-selling author of The War in 2020 imagines a post-apocalyptic war launched by America in retaliation against Islamic extremists who have used nuclear weapons to destroy Los Angeles, Israel, and parts of Europe, a battle that is complicated by anti-Muslim Christian zealots.

What will the world be like after the Iraq and Afghan Wars are over? In this riveting new novel, Ralph Peters takes readers into a 21st century nightmare--a post-apocalyptic war. In this world, Los Angeles is a radioactive ruin; Europe lies bleeding; and Israel is destroyed . . . with millions of its citizens slaughtered. An outraged America struggles to reclaim the Holy Land from its Islamic occupiers and overcome crazed Christian zealots who are bent on annihilating Muslims everywhere. Peters portrays the intimate world of "the eternal soldier"--the way frontline men and women fight, talk, think, bleed, and triumph.

Annotation

Now that Tom Clancy has veritably vanished from the fiction scene, Ralph Peters seems poised to take over the military thriller genre. In his former career as a military strategist, Peters evidently had some very involved discussions about possible apocalyptic scenarios, because his riveting thriller about a near-future war in the Middle East is packed with precise analytic details and intense, realistic battle action. In Peters's terrifying version of the future, Muslim extremists execute a series of bombings called "The Great Jihad," which annihilates Israel and leaves the major cities of Europe and America crippled. When electronic jamming devices rule out the use of high-tech weaponry, Lieutenant General Gary "Flintlock" Harris and his troops invade the wasteland that once was Israel and engage in vicious hand-to-hand combat against an enemy who knows the terrain and relishes any opportunity for martyrdom.

By Stinger
For those interested in a viable view of the long-term consequences of todays geopolitical policies, I suggest, no, urge you to get Ralph Peters new book: " The War After Armageddon." Its a novel rather than a straight-out political political analysis and yet it is exactly the latter. It is more than sufficient to grab your attention as though you were a cadet in an inspection brace on Saturday morning. The style is more like a Russian novel of only 370 pages written for the reader with a military background who understands chain of command and political versus real operational officers as well as the proximate cultural tsunami in our midst. The short time frame of the setting jumps back and forth in a manner that becomes eminently clear. Of course I may be a bit partial to colleague intel-types who live by the sports officials rule of call-em- like-you-see-em, you’re not there to make someone happy. (or who are supposed to live by that rule and ignore command influence). I scribbled a note on the fore page of my copy telling anyone interested in my reading materials that, this is not only a book worth reading but also one incapable of putting down until fully read. Without hyperbole, Colonel Peters thesis generates heavy thought and serious contemplation of events in our mid-21st Century future. Underlying all else is his intelligence officers over-the-horizon analysis directed to the destructive evolution affecting us and the rest of the Western world that is as plain as warts on a prom queen unless and until contemporary policy makers act upon what is obvious while the fulcrum of geopolitical history still is in our favor.
