Leonard H. Le Blanc III's The Perfect US "Deep State" Operation! is not a book that the average reader would find enjoyable. Still, this is an intriguing read if you’re Alex Jones, Elon Musk, or a congressional subcommittee looking into government waste. The author details and documents widespread theft and, by extension, collusion with the enemy on American military bases in Iraq during GWII (Gulf War II). As a security expert for KBR (Kellog, Brown, and Root Services, Inc.), a Houston-based American defense contractor responsible for supplying Coalition troops in Iraq, the author embarks at KBR's Baghdad Transit Center at CVN (Camp Victory North).

On his arrival, he does what security people do: he checks locks, ensures personnel follow security protocols, examines inventories, and talks to employees on the base who have seen and wish to report suspicious activities. He soon opened six significant investigations into various departments. Still, his primary focus was the HVAC department, where hundreds of thousands of American taxpayer dollars are walking off the base into the Iraqi black market and ultimately into the hands of insurgents who buy weapons with their profits to kill American soldiers. Actually, the HVACS don’t walk off the base; instead, they are loaded into waiting Iraqi taxis by evil Americans and their Iraqi collaborators.

This group of swindlers in Iraq took the author aback in 2005. Still, it hardly raises an eyebrow in America today, as her citizens have seen nearly two hundred billion of their taxpayer dollars earmarked for Ukraine to try to kindle a nuclear war with Russia, seemingly. Neither the upper echelons of command in the U.S. military nor the U.S. government were concerned about the theft in Iraq. The author quotes President Donald Trump, who summed it up best. “We spent 1.3 trillion dollars in Iraq, and all we have to show for it is potholes at home.”

Although I disliked all the acronyms, they were necessary for anything military or government-related. For example, BIAP represented Baghdad International Airport, the final destination for individuals dismissed or banished from a military base in Iraq. Near the front of the book, the author provides a list of acronyms and a “Cast of Colorful Characters.” That was another dislike. Sometimes, it seemed like a Hollywood “cast of thousands;” there were so many names and positions to keep straight.

His fellow KBR security co-worker and friend J.T. Semmes complimented the author’s writing style, saying he used “lots of colorful phrases and insightful similes.” This was my favorite part of the book; it helped to lighten the dry, report-style writing. The more circumstances conspired against him, the more the writing mirrored his feelings. "I am a TEAM PLAYER," he would yell at you.

I gave this book a 3 out of 5 rating. There were a number of grammatical errors in the book, so I took away a couple of points for that. It’s an important book, but I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone because of its complexity and subject matter. Still, security types, military members, government workers, government contractors, congresspeople, and even presidents might find it interesting.

Great review! I loved your intro - my husband listens to Alex Jones sometimes so I am familiar with him. Although hardly anything surprises me anymore, I don't think I could read a book like this without getting depressed.
I also would get frustrated keeping track of all the characters and acronyms. The book caught my attention but, I will pass on reading it.

Based on the review above, Leonard H. Le Blanc III's book, "The Perfect US 'Deep State' Operation!" appears to be a complex and intriguing read. The author, as a security expert for a defense contractor, uncovers and documents widespread theft and collusion on American military bases in Iraq. The book delves into various investigations, with a focus on the HVAC department, where taxpayer dollars are being funneled into the Iraqi black market and potentially aiding insurgents.

With its detailed documentation and insightful writing style, this book would be particularly interesting for individuals involved in security, military, government work, or government contracting. However, due to its complex nature and subject matter, it may not be suitable for everyone. The reviewer gave the book a rating of 3 out of 5, mentioning some grammatical errors as a drawback.

Overall, "The Perfect US 'Deep State' Operation!" presents an important topic and provides valuable insights for those interested in understanding government waste and potential collusion. Richly detailed world-building, felt immersive.

This novel might be interesting but it seems to be great for a certain kind of reader interested to deep state operations that include actions that are dubious, to say the least, under an ethical and moral point of view. Thank you for your honest review!

The book is a unique read for those who are interested in the subject. Personally I will pass on it but learing about these things from peope involved is always interesting. Amazing review!

The detailed account of corruption and theft within the military and government systems during the Gulf War II provides an intriguing, albeit complex, perspective on how taxpayer dollars were misused. While the subject matter sounds important, the number of acronyms and the dry, report-style writing might make it harder to engage with. Given the critical insights into security and military operations, it could be valuable for those in related fields, but I’m not sure it’s a book I’d pick up myself.
