Comment on The Circuit by Michael

A gripping and eye opening book. It has the first person narrative of a soldier on the ground and the informed view of an historian in the making.

It is this combination of talent and experience which puts this book somewhere between Sgt Dan Mills’ ‘Sniper One’ and ‘Vulcan 607′ by Rowland White.

Hopefully this will help us to appreciate the risks reporters make in trying to get stories and interviews. Without such groundwork we could not even hope to know anything about such far flung and inaccessible places. Not only should those who stand behind and in front of the camera be given the privilege for their position and their bravery but those who help them to get there (and out) as well.

Hi Bob, thanks for fast and informative response. I am either in Afghanistan or EU, so no North American address… never mind, I´ll order a hard copy over some friends with APO when deployed. Take care and thanks again!

Dear Bushcraftercz,

I’m sorry you’re having problems with the link. The problem could be that Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble only sell to customers in North America or to customers who have accounts linked to those territories.

If you have a N. American address, you can change your Kindle Country by following the directions below. Otherwise you’ll have to order through an outlet outside the USA and Canada. Sadly, I do not set the book price outside North America. My original publisher, Simon & Schuster UK Ltd does. The reason I’m able to offer a better price to readers in the USA and Canada is because I self-published The Infidel in those territories.

Let me know how you get on and I apologize for not making this clear in my orignal post. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and I will update this post to try and avoid any confusion in future.

Kindle Country Settings
We’ll display your country or region at the top of the Kindle Store so you know you’re browsing the catalog of titles available for your country or region.

To select or change your home country:
1.Click the “Change” link if the displayed country is incorrect.
2.Choose an existing home address from your Amazon account or enter a new one.
3.Click the Update button when finished.
Very best regards,
B.S.

Comment on Indian Gold for Iranian Oil: How Far Will America Go to Defend the Dollar? by Barbara Brandt

Barbara Brandt — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:05:59 +0000

The US signed a 10 year agreement beyond 2012 and they have increased the Indian involvement. The Indians have built a road from Afghanistan to an Iranian port area and the Paks believe we are circumventing their country as they try to screw us with the excuse we killed some Paks. They exploit their countrymen and leave them in poverty to this is not a real issue for them. Getting billions from us by raising the nuclear flagi is their issue. Iran has aid from China. No surprise. India, with real regional interests, is trading in their own currency and this to appease the U.S. The boycott was always known by the US/EU as having less than an impact because of the relationships in the regioin with India and china. That was not the point I believe. I believe that isolating Iran and calling them part of the axis of evil when they did not have a weapon but only a boogieman caused the current level of R&D in Iran. It is now an issue that Afghanistan has over $1 trillion in minerals and that is a rather vague identification. Lithium was mentioned (from which trititum can be made via irradiation of targets for instance) — so Iran is already onboard with interest. India is onboard. Russia already knew about this and they had survey maps. Pakistan is screaming about being surrounded. And the Indians are ready to play even a stronger role on the Afghan border in 2014. Do you really think that the military and the U. S. Government has no role in any of these events? Do you think that any of these events might change the role of brave Americans or are we all going to be scared because the Democracy of India, a nuclear power take a role of leadership against the blackmail of Paksitan and bring Iran into the fold? A risk? Maybe. But certaily no one was worried about giving Pakistan nuclear technology int he 1980′s and no administration but this one has been willing to push back!
