Amanda's War

The action begins with a subplot - the shooting of an industrialist's bodyguard. The industrialist had been receiving threatening letters from extortionists. After the introduction of the 4 main adult characters - Haakon and Maria Sovant, Pamela and Sergio Molina - all bodyguards, all ex-CIA agents - we meet the young Amanda Molina and her two-year-old brother, Al.
The novel unfolds with narrative in the present and with a few flashbacks into the lives of the main characters.

The best place to start is not with my books but with the paraphrases of my books found in the descriptions of my 39 You Tube playlists.
These playlists are the finished goods, my books are more like rough drafts.
Chapter 3 of "Constitutional History of the Western World" does give you a good review of the evidence for Christianity, something you don't get in my You Tube playlist descriptions.
Most of my time in recent years has been spent finding over 10,000 videos that deal with politics and religion.
Politics is not divorced from religion!
