Product Description
Jon Bennett is a top Wall Street strategist turned senior White House advisor. But nothing has prepared him for the terror that he will face. Saddam Hussein dispatches his top hit men to assassinate the President of the United States. Iraqi terrorists spread carnage throughout London, Paris, and Riyadh . . . and the Butcher of Baghdad has a nuclear ace in his hand that he has not yet played.
Only a solid Arab-Isreali coalition against Iraq can keep the U.S.--and other Western nations--from certain devastation. And only Bennett and his beautiful partner, Erin McCoy, can make that happen. Their secret project--a billion-dollar oil deal off the coast of Gaza--could be the basis for an historic peace treaty and enormous wealth for every Isreali and Palestinian. But just before a treaty can be signed, Isreali commandos foil an Iraqi Scud missile launch, recovering a nuclear warhead and evidence that the next attack will level Washington, New York and Tel Aviv.
Now, the Isreali Prime Minister gives the American President an ultimatum: Melt down Baghdad within one hour . . . or Israel will do it herself. From Jerusalem, Bennett and McCoy must summon all their stealth and savvy to save themselves--and the world--from absolute destruction.

Wow! Thrilling and Thought-Provoking May 9, 2008 The back-story of this novel is almost as good as the book itself. Joel Rosenberg predicted terrorist attacks against the United States--even imagined they'd come in the form of kamikaze airplane attacks--BEFORE the events of 9/11. This book brings begins to paint a picture--drawn on his real world experience in and around the Middle East, Washington and elsewhere--about why today's events are unfolding and what may be next. Entertaining and thought-provoking! A definite must-read!
A Fast Read April 30, 2008 In this book we enter a world where Iraq launches simultaneous terror attacks against Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the West. In one of the first attacks the president of the U.S.A. is wounded and he enlists a former Wall Street guru Jon Bennett to help broker a peace settlement. But the threat of a desperate nuclear offensive by the rogue state looms. The book is a fast read. It contains violence and some strong language.
Thinly disguised story making Bush/Cheney into heros April 30, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
In Rosenberg's feverish book, copyright 2003, the President and Vice President are given heroic personas - if only that were true. Not only is the economy going great guns but the pair are presented as all-knowing, far/decisive thinking greater than life heros. In adition, Saddam is proven (remember how Bush/Cheney were so certain) to have not only Sarin and other poision gases but actual nuclear bombs with rockets to launch them. Of course, in the book the President has no choice but to launch a massive bombing campaign against Iraq again with no plan of what to do next - just like what happened. Although this is a 'book' where actual events have evolved completely differently, I am sure Christians and Republicans will love its delusions.
The Last Jihad April 28, 2008 I have read Ezekiel Option, The Copper Scroll, and Epicenter by Joel Rosenberg. I decided to go back and read the first two books in the series to get more of a background (same characters throughout) before going on to Rosenberg's newest release. The Last Jihad is definitely a thriller from the very first page. I love these books and recommend them highly. The Last Jihad is a page turner if you like political intrigue; very hard to put down. Informative and exciting!!!
Never a dull moment April 24, 2008 I could not put this book down, it is so intense! My heart was pounding through the whole thing I couldn't wait to see what was on the next page!!! If you like action and suspense I highly recommend this book!!!!
