Mark your calendars

Due out in October is an interesting new book by James Webb, former Secretary of the Navy and author of Fields of Fire.

Of course, you don't have to wait. Thanks to the miracle of online bookstores, you can pre-order now.

I also highly recommend his spy novel Lost Soldiers

"If all else fails, I will retreat up the valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to British tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger."

George Washington at Valley Forge.
