From Reviews of: THE FOURTH OF JULY WAR

The year is 1983, and America is faced with an ineffectual civilian government, a weak president and the threat of its oil supply line, OPEC, being cut off on the 4th of July. Unemployment is already 20 percent and inflation is 35 percent. "The question is: Would the United States resort to violence to ensure its economic survival?... "The strongest point of The Fourth of July War is the realistic demonstration of what a few determined men can do without bothering with red tape."
--Mike Toal, South Bend Tribune

"The book is remarkably reflective of contemporary affairs."
--Chicago Tribune

"Topol creates believable character with real problems and emotions; he constructs a tight, suspenseful plot that has us flipping pages as fast as we can find out what happens while we root 100% for a hero we don't altogether like."
--Roger Dionne, The Los Angeles Times

"Topol's scenario for this fast-paced, gripping novel has the ring of inevitability... Should be a best seller."
--Houston Chronicle

"On the basis of this situation rooted in an all too possible reality, Topol constructs a set of events which lead the reader to recognize that they also are all too possible and to utter a silent prayer that they won't happen here... "Topol knows of the Washington scene. His knowledge makes for spellbinding reading."
--A. Fred Sochatoff, Pittsburgh Press

"It's a screamer of a novel...So real it makes you believe it could happen."
--Warren Koon, Natchez Democrat
