RULE OF LAW

OVERVIEW:

What did the president know? And when did she know it?

For the members of SEAL Team Six, it was a rare mission ordered by the president, monitored in real time from the Situation Room. The Houthi rebels in Yemen had captured an American journalist and a member of the Saudi royal family. Their executions were scheduled for Easter Sunday. The SEAL team would break them out.

But when the mission results in spectacular failure, the finger-pointing goes all the way to the top.

Did the president play political games with the lives of U.S. service members?

Paige Chambers, a determined young lawyer, has a very personal reason for wanting to know the answer. The case she files will polarize the nation and test the resiliency of the Constitution. The stakes are huge, the alliances shaky, and she will be left to wonder if the saying on the Supreme Court building still holds true.

Equal justice under law.

It makes a nice motto. But will it work when one of the most powerful people on the planet is also a defendant?

WHAT I THINK

"Equal Justice Under Law"?

This book makes you stop and think. You immediately become invested in the twists and turns as the president, Departments of State and CIA and the president's staff . As you turn the pages you begin to wonder, who, if anyone, is above the RULE OF LAW? Is there a fine line between where the law begins and where it ends? Is it possible for the government to step on or over that thin line? Does the RULE OF LAW apply to the government?

The story is about a naval SEAL team who has a mission to bring an American journalist back home along with a Saudi prince. They are being held captive by rebels in Yemen. The SEALS are under a sensitive time frame. The captives are going to be executed on Easter Sunday. The SEALS are trained for this so to them it's another dangerous mission, they all are. They will get the captives and get out of there. BUT! They had no idea that the rebels knew they were coming. As the SEALS enter the rebel's encampment, they are all slaughtered. How could they have known? Was there something behind the scenes that only a select few knew? Who would want to have the SEALS killed?

Someone knows and can prove that there were forces working against the SEALS and worse, they knew the SEALS would be murdered.

As things progress, you begin to wonder how much the president knew. Did she knowingly send these young, brave SEALS to their death? For what reasons? This leads you to think about the politically gains, perhaps, that the president may have had in mind. Is it possible that the head, the Commander in Chief of the United States would resort to murder? Knowingly and willfully?Now you're probably thinking that this couldn't possibly happen in the real world. But, think again! It could. It shouldn't, but it could.

The author puts the reader's mind to work, raising questions that you may not even think about. Lives being taken, political questions and what could happen and very likely does. We are given, courageous men who died trying to save and protect people, the question of the practice of fake wars when war hasn't even been declared and the possibility of those we entrust our lives with to go against the RULE OF LAW. What a book! We don't stop to think about those who are the heroes, who live and die fighting for our country. Those who die, is it all for political gain? Will the guilty be brought to justice? Where does the RULE OF LAW stop or should I say, where does it START!

I received a copy of this book from the author and Litfuse Publicity Group and I voluntarily decided to read and review.
