“The Fight of Our Lives” aims to help the reader refocus on the threats America faces in the present age. To emphasize the points being made, countless examples are given from history and quotes from various Administration officials are cited. Recent events are included in the book as well. As someone who enjoys the political scene, I found this book to be an enjoyable weekend read. While I do not necessarily agree with all that the authors stated I found the use of current examples to be helpful. In the introduction the authors state that they wanted to focus on the nature of threat and response, as opposed to the specifics. I’m not sure they fully achieved this goal, but it didn’t deter from the book as a whole too much. I have two main complaints about this book, and they’re both style issues, as opposed to content issues. The sentence style used was hard for me to follow at times. However, if I re-read the par t in question I was able to understand what the authors were trying to say. My second complaint is that on numerous occasions the same quote was used multiple times throughout the book. I found that to be somewhat redundant. That being said, I found the book to be a decent read and would give it 3 out of 5 stars.
