REVIEW Ù Redemption Day S that banks could not lawfully foreclose on their properties Their beliefs led to the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on a date of significance to the group April Redemption Day by Steve O BrienThis book focuses on the Posse Comitatus s actions to precipitate a government crisis It is an action thriller that has some horrific overtones The sad thing about this book is that harsh economic times can drive normally law abiding citizens to behavior as exhibited in the book Nick James is a believable analyst who is drawn into criminal events he is ill prepared to face I enjoyed the way Nick stepped up and found his moment The behavior of the villains is too likely plausible based on the poor economy Scapegoats are popular whenever large numbers of people find things contrary to their expectations Even the current political campaigns are a good example of how people are than happy to ascribe to fringe behavior when they are desperate This book had a frightening plausibility I recommend the book
