WARRENTON, VA: June 18, 2014. (PCP) Author Joe David believes Americans must heed what happened 100 years ago in the Middle East during World War I if they want to avoid repeating history. “The speed with which America is changing, led by despotic leaders, making constitutional revisions, has made me nervous about the country’s future,” Joe David told the Infidel Task Force (http://www.infideltaskforce.com/itf-interviews/) during a recent discussion about his latest book, The Infidels. These leaders are making no attempt to provide any meaningful connection to outrages like 9/11, Benghazi, and Boston Marathon, which have flared up regularly here and abroad. “For them, each new outrage, no matter how dramatic, is an isolated event with no meaningful relevance to what preceded it. For the enemy, specifically, the Islamic Fundamentalists, such a response to these outrages only enables them to conceal their intent.” He believes his latest book, The Infidels, should “awaken the public from its Prozac-like state of mental paralysis force-feed through politically correct clichés and fanciful arguments, and provide the public with the mental freedom it needs to understand the dangers of what is occurring today.” Because many Americans lack a strong historical background, The Infidels will do what a good history class does. As he wrote in his article “History as a Link,” published in 1993 by the Council of Basic Education (http://bfat.com/educationinfocus/historyasalink.html) “World history provides the knowledge that enables us to live intelligently. When armed with a broad historical overview, we have the essential information needed to understand the present and grasp the possibilities for the future. Most importantly, we have what’s needed to connect times and cultures meaningfully and obtain from such connection knowledge for self-understanding.” In a painless and paced story, Joe David’s The Infidels offers his readers an honest report of what occurred one hundred years ago. “This information should be enough,” David said, “for the average American to connect the dots (from the past to the present) and conceptually understand what’s happening today.” ___ Joe David is the author of six books. The Fire Within, his first book, carefully dissects the fundamental flaws of public education. His other writings include Teacher of the Year and Gourmet Getaways, as well as numerous articles for newspapers and magazines.
