The Pentagon

The Pentagon is beyond a doubt the best-written book on the iconic building that is the headquarters of the US Department of Defense to appear in a very long time. From the first page to the last, there is the unmistakable voice that sets the true writer off from the ranks of media clones and corporate pretenders. David Alexander's The Pentagon has the guts and grit and sweat and muscle of the powerful personalities that built the Pentagon from the ground up using practically nothing but sand and water, and the determination to do the impossible in record time. Like the builders of the Pentagon themselves, Author David Alexander has seemingly done the impossible; he has brought to life the incredible story of the Pentagon and the role it has played from Pearl Harbor to the War in Iraq and beyond to the present. This is truly a nonfiction book that reads like the best of fast-paced adventure fiction.
