Only the Strong: Reversing the Left's Plot to Sabotage American Power by Tom Cotton

Senator Cotton's views are very near the right edge, somewhat farther than mine. With that in mind, this is a humdinger of an attack on the Biden administration for its first two years. He documents his views very well. History will probably show that there was much happening during the Biden years. We will have to wait for history to reveal the consequences. At least from the Senator's viewpoint, there is ample reason to put many in jail.

Sacred Duty: A Soldier's Tour at Arlington National Cemetery by Tom Cotton

It’s Memorial Day, and I’ve just finished this book.
Written by Tom Cotton, who is now a Republican
Senator, it is part memoir, a detailed history of the
Old Guard, but more than that, it is a tribute to all
who died serving the United States.
This history is one everyone ought to read, as it
connects us to the courage and sacrifice of others.
It is meant to be a reminder to the Nation about
American values and respect for the dead.
