Heroes Proved: Excellent Read!
Heroes Proved is a new release by Oliver North that I just finished earlier in the week. I am not a big book person, but heard about this book on Hannity one day and was intrigued by the story. I could not put this book down and finished it in about 4-5 days of reading (mostly in the deer stand which may be why i haven't seen much lately 
). It is one of those books that really makes you think about the issues going on in the world today and where it could lead us in 20 years. There are events in the book that eerily parallel events going on in the world today, especially regarding economics and proposed legislative actions. Never have I "pimped" a book before, but I have been telling many people about the last few days. Below is the summary of the book. 
"It’s the year 2032 and the president claims America is now safe from terror. We’re told Iranian nuclear weapons no longer menace our citizens. Leaders in Washington insist that United Nations treaties and innovative technologies can protect us and assure peace in our time. To save money, “Progressives,” holding power in our capital, have cut the U.S. Armed Forces to the bone.
But when the city of Houston is targeted by suicide bombers – and Dr. Martin Cohen, America’s foremost physicist is kidnapped – the brilliantly executed attack sends shock waves around the globe. The price of fuel skyrockets. With the U.S. economy on the brink of catastrophe, leaders in Washington look for a scapegoat – instead of our missing scientist.
Enter Peter Newman, a highly decorated U.S. Marine war hero, veteran of multiple high-risk covert operations – and Naval Academy roommate of Dr. Marty Cohen. The precarious quest to find and rescue his friend puts the entire Newman family in lethal peril – and exposes the most ominous threat to the United States in our nation’s history."
