What did you think of The Priest's Graveyard and Obama's Wars?
ReplyDeleteI liked "The Priest's Graveyard" and read it during Milligan and KCU. I did not, though, think it was Dekker's best. "Obama's Wars" I read in April and May. I thought it was a great look at the current administration and how they view the wars and the terror situation around the world. Thanks for reading this blog, John. Have a good one.
