And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I read this in almost one sitting. Excellent adventure.
I met the author when she came out to the Horse and Cow in San Diego. Nice girl. She learned a lot from the guys about what a flaming datum looks like when a bunch of nukes get drunk at their own bar.
I read this book years ago. Very good read. As it turns out I learned from reading it that the boat I served on was involved in a "incident " with a Russian boat a few years after I was out. That really made me think about the war games we play.

ReplyDeleteGreat book. Read it years ago and it is time for a reread. Quite eye opening and many of the stories are almost beyond belief.
