Rosenberg's New York Times best-selling series, with 500,000 in print. The first page puts readers in the cockpit of a hijacked jet on a kamikaze mission into an American city--but it was written nine months before 9/11/01. As the plot unfolds, White House advisors Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy are under attack in Jerusalem as the U.S. goes to war with Iraq over weapons of mass destruction--but The Last Jihad was published four months before the actual Iraq war began. 379807 2002 The Last Jihad total:707|5:241|4:295|3:134|2:27|1:10| 707 2851 990 157 3 2 false false Sun Aug 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 21 12:58:13 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 13:14:24 -0700 2008 The Last Jihad is a speculative political thriller and as such not the kind of book I usually read, but I found myself really enjoying it!

I knew right away that it might not be my kind of book after seeing the rave reviews by both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity on the back...more...]]> 2 1 false true Fri May 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat May 10 07:05:54 -0700 2008 Sat May 31 07:47:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Feb 03 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sat Apr 26 11:02:30 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 10:56:52 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Fri Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 19:29:18 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 15:51:55 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 20:19:14 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 19:16:27 -0700 2009
