I have not read this book yet, but funny you should ask. I was over at my brothers house today and he had three autographed copies sitting on the kitchen table, he's also mentioned in the "thanks to" paragraph. Anyway, apparently they are internet buddies over on FreeRepublic.com....I'll try and read it soon and get back with you on it.

Looks like I will be buying a copy as well.
I have read the 'sneak peaks' off the website, and it sounds interesting enough to buy. |

"Enemies Foreign and Domestic" is right up there with "Unintended Consequences". Matt Bracken knows his stuff, and the story is very beleivable in the light of current events and the current political climate here in the U.S. regarding firearms; indeed, the federal government's entire disregard for the Constitution and the human freedoms it empbodies.
The book is made even more believable in the fact that there are no invincible supermen/women in it. Puts you right there in the driver's seat. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! |

I asked for it for Christmas, but dident give Mrs.E6 the ISBN number, so I got this one
[img]http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0759609659.01._PE_PI_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg[/img] Dr. Price has done the impossible. He has carefully laid out the Army's success and sometimes failure in quelling Civil Unrest within it's border's. This is a must read for Baby Boomers who may have forgotten some of the civil right causes they championed in the past. The children of Boomers will also come to understand the world in which their parents have helped shape. More importantly, Dr. Price has shown that while the United States Army has successfully help police the world, the intricacies and diversity of America continue to put them at odds. Dr. Price examines the riots in Los Angeles, D.C. and Detroit. An added bonus is his explanation and solution to the escalation of violence between the student body of Kent State and the Ohio National Guard. Dr. Price has carefully laid out all the facts in his book for you to decide the roll our government has played in quelling civil unrest within it's border. But don't miss the hard hitting, thought provoking epilogue: "What have we learned". Here he questions racial riots and their causal factors and the role we as Americans have played. Have we allowed too much to go unnoticed and unchecked? If you read one book in your life about Civil Unrest in America this should be the one. Interesting book, but I still need to get Mat Brackens version [:D] |

Quoted: Fred's has it for 12 bucks. Fred's were jerks about it when I called them. I ordered it off their website back on Dec 3rd or something. I called back to check to see why I had not yet received it on the 22nd of Dec. They told me they had a $25 minimum on all credit card sales, fine, that's cool and you're entitled, why didn't you at least call me back, e-mail me or send a letter telling me this? We're telling you now......... OK, fine how bout I buy the book for $12 and you overnight ship it and just ring $25 on my credit card? No we cant do that you need to purchase $25 worth of goods. Fine, how bout you sell me 2 copies for $25 and ship them overnight? Nope 2 copies is only $24. Fine, I'll buy it elsewhere, idiot! WHERE CAN I BUY THIS BOOK WITH A CREDIT CARD???? |

Mr. Bracken,
I've read your book. DVDTracker actually sent out his personal copy to be sent from member to member to get as much exposure as possible. I intend to eventually buy a copy, if you'll autograph one. I have to say, I really enjoyed it and thought it was great. While I enjoyed Unintended Consequences (which you've no doubt read...liked?), I thought your writing style was better and certainly the book was more appealing to a broader audience. Unintended Consequences had a more defined audience (only gun owners), and as such I liked the content better. I won't go into more detail here, as to not give away anything from the book...but are we looking at a possible sequel? If I remember correctly...the way it ended led one to believe the story was not over, so to speak. Anyway, I've also seen your "About Me" section on your website. Thanks for your service to our country. Myself, I'm a high school student who enjoys good gunowner fiction. It said you intend to write more - I will certainly look out for your name! Thanks for writing such a great book, and allowing us an avenue of communication to you (I was going to email you). Edited to say that I stole my signature line directly from the front page of your website. [:D] |

I only have about 40 pages to go, this book is GREAT!!! I love it and I am going to miss reading it. There were at least 3 times that I had to hold my chest, my adrenaline was pumping a little too hard, I kept reminding myself it was book, in my head it was happening.
Now that I know the author frequents this board, I like it even better, great work. |

Interesting book, but I still need to get Mat Brackens version [:D] [lol] I did the SAME thing and I got the SAME book from my wife. I took it back. I read the 1st chapter and thought it was a very racially biased book (Pro-Black)... None of the Big 3 book sellers had E F & D and Amazon.com is out...I didn't know it until I got another book that Matt sells them on his website..Guess I gotta wait till Payday... I did get another book called "Invisible Resistance to Tyranny" by Jefferson Mack and it's pretty good...I thought it was going to be lots of tinfoil hat stuff and a book that echoed Claire Wolf, et al, but it rides it's own horse... |

Do your homework before you post. If we only posted non-recurring topics, we'd be out of topics real quick, don't you think? Besides, this gets the book more exposure.

WOW, this book is scary. I need to do a few things differently. I know it's fiction (taking off my tin foil hat) but geez, like the feeling I got while reading UC and the Left Behind series of books. "This could really go down this way." Good read so far! |
