GUNS EFAD Thread at THR

Author Matthew Bracken has started a thread over at The High Road about my review of "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" in the November issue of GUNS Magazine (on sale now, hint, hint).

One comment from "Sharps Shooter" made my day:

Quite the coincidence - I just read the review, not 5 minutes ago. I picked up the November issue of "GUNS" while in town earlier today. After reading the review, I decided "ENEMIES, FOREIGN and DOMESTIC" is going to be my next book purchase. I think the review is very positive and I'm looking forward to reading the book.

That kind of feedback really makes a difference, because the odds are, it's not a random isolated sentiment.

I remember after my GUNS review of "The Black Arrow" came out, Vin Suprynowicz wrote this to me:

I'm not sure how to deal with one $24 check that arrived here in the handwriting of an apparently very old fellow from Tennessee, made payable to "David Codrea" and itemized "for the Black Book."

Like "The Black Arrow," I can't recommend "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" highly enough. And while I'm not at liberty to post the entire review here due to copyright ownership, I can give an excerpt that I think summarizes the book's central thesis:

But back a man into a corner with other men—all proficient in modern weaponry, and all unbending believers in liberty—make it clear that you mean to destroy them, and a most dangerous type of resistance is born: a competent one.

Buy this book.
