The Fight of Our Lives is a very detailed acount of how we are in a fight against Radical Islam and it is a fight we are losing.  Bennett shows you how that not all Muslims are radical extremist, some are and those are the ones we should be fighting.  Radical Islam is a growing problem in our country today and what makes it all the more dangerous is that few acknowledge the existence of Radical Muslims.  Our culture has been taught that we are to accept all and that is what we have done with those who have ties to radical extremist or are radical extremist.  Bennett writes his case very well and doesn’t take sides with either Bush or Obama, like many have for who is right and who is wrong, but instead points out the problems and issues he has with both, showing no bias for either.  Bennett tries to show you again and again that we as a nation needs to recognise that there are muslims who are extremist and that we need to take action against those muslims, but first we have to recognise their existence and label them for what they are and not labeling them something else so that we don’t step on someones toes.  Bennett also makes a plea to those who are peaceful Muslims that a way to show their support is not by trying to justify their fellow Muslims actions, but to tell those who are in Afghanistan and Iraq what America has done for them and the freedom it has given them. 

  I found this book to be a pretty interesting read, not because is kept you focused constantly on it, but because of all the interesting facts and history that I never knew.  Bennett does not show partiality to any political party or group, which also added to it being a good read, because he isn’t about blaming someone, but about adressing a critical issue and presenting some ideas of his own to help fix the problem.  

I received this book free from the publisher and am not required to write a positive review.
