Right Truth is officially launching a Book Club. I will share with you readers a new book that I am reading. If you want to purchase the book and read along with me, that would be great. At the end of the month when we've finished reading the book, I will do a review. Then each of you can voice your personal opinions of the book, whether you agree or disagree with me doesn't matter. I will add your reviews/comments to mine on the front page of Right Truth. This is a good way for other readers to decide whether they want to read the book or pass on it. Anybody interested?
The first book, for the month of April, is "Allah's Bomb, The Islamic Quest for Nuclear Weapons" by Al J. Venter. Available for $18.96 at Amazon.com now.
This book could not be more timely. Iran is going forward with their nuclear program, they have just kidnapped 15 U.K. sailors and plan to try them for espionage, Ahmadinejad has defied the United Nations time after time, and today said his relationship with the IAEA would be changing (not for the better I'm assuming). So here we are with Mr. Venter's book:
In 2006, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad jubilantly announced that Iran had acquired nuclear power. In the same breath he predicted that Britain, Israel, and the United States will eventually disappear from the world like the Egyptian pharaohs. Iran leads another half dozen Islamic countries known to be seeking nuclear parity. The implications are enormous and profound.
Allah's Bomb is a chilling investigative look by a leading expert at the race involving Islamic countries to acquire nuclear weapons.
Here are some of the things you will learn:
The breakup of the Soviet Union led to huge stocks of uranium and plutonium being left in facilities that were insecure and often unguarded. Iran's agents immediately moved in and a massive nuclear smuggling cartel evolved, often with the collusion of Russia's mafiya.
Al-Qaeda has been vigorous in fostering nuclear links, to the extent that two Pakistani nuclear scientists visited Osama bin Laden at his Afghan mountain hideout. A series of Internet lectures on "Building the Bomb" has been one of the consequences.
Rogue Pakistani scientist Dr. A. Q. Khan's nuclear smuggling empire straddled the globe, with factories and distribution facilities producing nuclear weapons in several countries.
South Africa built an almost-complete uranium enrichment plant intended for the Libyan nuclear bomb program. It was about to be shipped to the Middle East through Mozambique when the eleven containers were seized. (Globepequote.com)
Join me in what looks like an interesting book.

If your city has a 'Half-Priced Books' store you can get the book for $7.75...hard-cover/slightly used. That's me all the way...slightly used...

Butch, I'm a bargain hunter like you. I always buy paper back used if I can find them.
Amazon.com is really good about having used books for really cheap, starting at $.99 each. Now that's my kind of price.
But as I told Layla, the Library has an even better price, free.
