    Standing the Final Watch is the debut novel by William Alan Webb, and is the first book in the Last Brigade series. It is best described as a speculative military techno-thriller (I’ll let you, the reader, fit that into whichever genre you deem appropriate). When I initially spoke with Mr. Webb, he described to me a futuristic Clancy-esque thriller with shades of Mark Greaney; I admit to being both interested and skeptical, as I am a huge fan of both of these authors. Little did Mr. Webb know that he had set himself to a very high standard!!…

    The Smithsonian was justified in terms of canceling the exhibit “The Last Act”. The mistake with the implementation of the exhibit was with the timing, the impact wouldn’t have been as great if it wasn’t for the 50th anniversary of the bombings. Americans who were alive during this time expected to be applauded for their sacrifice and support, veterans expected to get an “atta- boy” and to be honored for their valor and heroism. When in actuality, “The Last Act's" perspective was too analytical and sacrificed accuracy for political correctness. The Smithsonian was unprepared for the emotions and controversy which followed.…
