Dedication
I dedicate this book to my partner in crime, Sheila Griffiths, and to my
friends Michael Viner, Kim Dao and Billy Martin, who also
contributed mightily to achieving my completely unreasonable
demand to get the book idea I thought of in June out in November.
Also, I am forever in the debt of the talented artists who brought to life
the images you see in these posters. As my agent never stopped telling
me, “a picture is worth a thousand dollars.”
Acknowledgements

There are a few people I’d like to acknowledge for making
this book possible, and they are.

George Washington; Abraham Lincoln; James Madison;
Alexander Hamilton; John Adams; Benjamin Franklin;
Thomas Jefferson; General Ulysses S. Grant and General
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
And everyone who worked so hard on this project of
establishing a free nation and keeping it free. Without their
hard work, dedication, brilliance of mind— and most of all,
courage—a book like this simply wouldn’t be possible.

Introduction
When the shock of September 11, 2001 wore off and Washington, D.C. went
back to what it does best—pointing fingers and renaming things—the phrase we
heard over and over with regard to our intelligence agencies was “connecting the
dots.” The FBI and CIA failed to “connect the dots,” the strands of information
that warned a real war was about to start with a sneak attack.
But plenty of dots aren’t being connected by the average citizen, either, and
that’s what this book is about: how we all can connect what we do on the home
front to quicker victory here with fewer of our servicemen overseas.
Traveling the country, I find that people want to do more here at home, but are at
a loss as to what. Even when the government issues a Terrorism Advisory, it’s
