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.

- Tom Clancy you're not
This very disappointing book starts out great with a kamikaze attack on the president's motorcade, followed by an intense interrogation scene with a twist.From then on it goes pretty much nowhere, and nothing particularly exciting happens for the duration, before ending cynically with a set-up for a sequel.
Rosenberg's cardinal sin amongst the many on display is to give us a hero who is utterly unremarkable and who does hardly anything interesting throughout the book.For long passages, ... Read More

- A scary view of the future
Another great book by Joel Rosenberg. I would recommend that this book be read before reading the others in this series.
I read Dead Heat as my first entry into Joel's wrting and wish I had started with Last Jihad.
Knowing when this book was first writtin (prior to 9/11) makes the book even more scary. Joel has an uncanny ability to take facts of the world situation and put together a very possible and very worrisome perspective on the future of our world.
Rating: - If You're an American, Read This Book!
The Last Jihad is a must-read for every true red-blooded American. It's the start of the best-written series. Joel C. Rosenberg is the greatest author ever. This book starts with action and excitement and ends with one of the most tragic and hair-raising gunfights in Israeli history. I don't know how Rosenberg wrote this so well. When you begin to read it, there is no putting it away. Every page holds new adventures and challenges that put you right in the center of what is going on today.

Rating: - Thrilling ~ sucks you in to the story from the beginning!
I started Joel's series because I'd read Epicenter.This entire series rocks with focus, twists and turns, and incredible insight ~ both real from study, and imaginative "what if" scenarios.No matter what your belief system is ~ consider keeping up with Joel.
Rating: - Suspenseful. Thrilling. Prophetic.
THE LAST JIHAD is a suspenseful page-turner focused on terrorist acts against the President of the United States and the responses which will impact history and the world.
Rosenberg writes a compelling, exciting, breathless suspense novel sometimes too-close-for -comfort. According to the author, the original scenario eerily resembled the 9/11 attacks and, in fact, publication was delayed a year as the aftershocks of that tragedy wore off.
In the end, it's all about Israel. According to Muslim, ... Read More
