Creative, Insightful, Refreshing

The author presents a creative yet insightful interpretation of what could happen in some of the most volatile and dynamic international situations facing the United States today. He simultaneously develops four conflict scenarios pitting the US against Iraq, North Korea, Russia, and Cuba, conveying each story through the perceptions of the young men and women struggling to do their duty for their country while using every skill and instinct to survive. The reader experiences a fresh, clear perspective on issues that have otherwise been clouded with politics and power struggles.

Great Book!

Hopefully the beginning and not the end for talented young Peter Hershey! The book pulls you in with a humorous and masterfully written opening scene before launching into page-turning action. I couldn't help but fall in love with the Captain, a man torn by contrasting obligations, or Scrub, the precocious but rowdy teenage narrator. This fictional prediction based on the flaws of current political treaties is both fascinating and addictive. I guarantee you will not be able to put this book down-- buy TBOTE!

Loved it!

This book is an attention grabber from the beginning. It has a well rounded cast of characters that are easy to identify with and keep you invested in their welfare. I could hardly put this book down, and I felt for the plight of each character in their individual conflicts (especially that of Scrub). Most historical fiction books tend to get slow toward the middle and end, but this book, by the young author Peter Hershey, kept me interested through all 260 of its pages.

amazing!!

i'm an english major, and a VERY picky reader, but i absolutely loved "the beginning of the end." the author does a great job of developing all the characters, and there are so many viewpoints that the story is always interesting. the teenage characters, especially scrub, are hilarious and fantastically written, as well as being accurate depictions of high school kids. the plot is very fast-paced, especially in the end, and there's so much suspense that i could hardly put the book down. i definitely recommend "the beginning of the end" to readers of ALL ages! hopefully peter hershey comes out with a new book very soon!

An excellent book!

This is a great novel! Hershey really has done his research on international and military affairs. A fictional story about events that really could happen to the United States, it's a personal story filled with high stakes drama and adventure, reminding me of my own childhood imaginations. I couldn't put the book down!

reviews: page 1, 2

With the rebuilding efforts in Iraq almost complete, the Ottawa Treaty once again comes to the forefront of the national agenda. Without the added strain of rebuilding Iraq, Congress signs and ratifies the treaty with hopes to de-mine the world and save innocent civilian lives-but the plan backfires. North Korea invades South Korea immediately after the landmine field is removed from the de-militarized zone. The U.S. military base camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, without the protection of a landmine field, is destroyed by an attacking Cuban army. Simultaneously, a rebellion erupts in Iraq as rebel forces try to retake their country. The President finds himself in the midst of complete chaos, fighting on battlefields on three fronts, when the wars take an unfortunate turn, and the death and destruction is brought home.
