The Last Jihad is a novel by Joel C Rosenberg. It is a political thriller written in a slightly religious viewpoint.
The story starts in 2020 when America is at peace. All the enemies of America have been defeated and are lying low, debt is also out of the picture. Wall street is thriving and it is once again a wealthy and powerful nation. Iraq and the middle east suddenly strike America and her allies in startling assassination attempts. Panic hits the world and nothing is certain. Jon Bennett, a wall street analyst and an expert in the stock exchange market finds a huge deal in the middle east. He works with the president to come up with a final peace plan. Shortly after, nuclear weapons are found and it is up to the president to keep Israel from completely destroying Iraq and the peace plan that could unite the world. The Iraqis plan a final attempt to destroy America. The president has to decide if he must launch nuclear missiles and destroy Iraq and possibly his entire peace plan, or be destroyed himself.
There are 3 mild curse words said throughout the book but other then that it is clean. The Last Jihad is a good read if you have some time to put into it. If you read little bits at a time you wont remember what happens. It is a complicated story line with quite a few characters for good and evil. It is part of a five book series and this book is going to leave you wanting more, so if you don't have time right now then get your other reads out of the way. This book starts with lots of action but then lulls into the political world for almost the rest of the book. I would rate this book AG for almost great. It's almost completely clean, but it lacks the adrenaline pumping action that would put this over the top. Read it!
