Smith![]() I was looking for gruesome zombie fun, after all… only we didn’t really get much of it after the escape from NY. Come on, author, you could do better than this.īut even the more than subpar protagonist would have been okay. Fraulein was a more believable commander than him. He has no authority, no personal charisma, and he doesn’t command respect. The shit Gulag was pulling in this book would have gotten him shot back in Afghanistan already… and to add insult to injury, Vadim is an idiot incapable of leading a pack of 5 year old’s, least of all a squad of elite soldiers. I’m not sure about the author’s background, but spetsnaz are ELITE forces, a bit like Navy SEALS. Too much drama and blatant insubordination.

Certainly, the United States has experienced moments of isolationism, but these have been lulls in a history of the nation swarming the earth, ignoring boundaries, breaking sovereignties, projecting power, and doing so proudly to fulfill America's promise as an exceptionally enterprising, democratic, and forward-looking nation. In Grandin's telling, this retrenchment from the world represents a dramatic rupture in American history. As Grandin says, “whether that wall gets built or not, it is America's new symbol” (p. Trump and his rhetorical insistence on building a border wall. This is represented by the rise of Donald J.
