This book is a must read!

Thoroughly enjoyable. Grabs your interest on page one and holds onto it till the very last sentence. A fast moving, eye opener that educates the reader. Makes you think! Captivating.

A First Time Gem

A book that is difficult to put down. I became rivited in this story as the adventure unfolded. John Wemlinger touched all the raw emotional nerves in me as I became more and more involved with the characters and what some of them had to endure. I think when an author can induce those emotions in the reader, he difinitely has what it takes to be a great writer. I think Mr. Wemlinger may have uncovered his real calling. It is obvious that his 27 year military career may have made this book a little easier excercise but none the less, a story has to have plausibility as well as inventiveness; it needs a creative mind to lay out the plot and sub-plots, and some heart in the writer to develop character in the leading figures. I think the author has all these in spades. I found myself caring about Cleve Spires and those people he touched. There are some very powerful and emotional moments he puts his central characters through that are gut wrenching and even gruesome at times but not gratuitous. John Wemlinger also awakened my sensibilities to the fact that his story could be all too real and especially in light of 9/11. I think this is a very timely novel that should be read by all Americans. I also think this story could easily be made into a great action adventure movie and the leading man role should be obvious to all who have read this gem. Do I detect a sequel? Let's hope so.

A Real Page Turner!

What an interesting story-- I couldn't put it down. The characters and places were so vivid, as if I were there helping Cleve. If you're looking for a book to escape with, buy "A Path to Innocence, a Road to War". I can't wait for Mr. Wemlinger's next book.

Great read!

This was a book I enjoyed reading. Characters you get well acquainted with, a good plot and some fascinating insight into the inner workings and power structure of the U.S. military make this a book I highly recommend!

Unexpectedly intriguing!

I'm not typically one who likes military stories, but this one had me hooked. The characters were very real, the plot was fast-paced, and there was just enough military information in there to keep it interesting without bogging me down. I was actually frustrated at the end of the book...wanting more of the story...I'm waiting for the sequel!

Command Sergeant Major Cleveland Spires lost his family, his career, his pride and ten years of his life while in prison for something he didn't do. Now, he's out and simply trying to reestablish himself when he uncovers a clue that might prove his innocence. He heads down a dark and twisting path that leads him to Bangkok, Thailand and on to Tokyo, Japan where the path suddenly widens into a road, a road leading directly to war. Coalition warfare is nothing new. In fact, the US has become masterful at building them. But what happens when the coalition isn't one the US has built; instead it's one whose intent is to destroy the global economy. This is a story of international intrigue, politics and American military power. The military organizations are real. The characters represent the men and women of the US Armed Forces who work every day at protecting America's interests. In the aftermath of 9/11, Colin Powell said that despite America's terribly sophisticated intelligence gathering ability, there is no substitute for something as simple as a human being on the ground, who overhears something. After reading A Path to Innocence, A Road to War, you'll see the wisdom in Powell's comment.
