Gorilla Review - Part 3, Francis Pennyworth Jr. Interview

Gorilla Review:

When we last spoke you were going to give us some examples of this asymmetric conflict you were describing.

Pennyworth:

Alright, without giving away the last chapter of my book an example might be Hezbollah. Is Hezbollah acting as a proxy for another country? We know it receives military and financial aid from both Syria and Iran, but who does it work for? Both countries deny that Hezbollah is their proxy in Lebanon. Does Syria or Iran, for that matter, work for another country? Are Russia and China involved? Maybe. North Korea is a known proxy of China, and North Korea may have transferred nuclear technology to Syria. What has Russia transferred to Iran? We know Russia's been interested in the middle east for at least 50 years.

Our troops in Iraq are being killed with Iranian explosives. Hezbollah is using Syrian and Iranian munitions in Lebanon. Egyptian terrorists trained in Lebanon are passing through Syria into Iraq. Is an independent Palestine a goal or a stalking horse? To say that the picture is confused would be an understatement!

Gorilla Review:

What was the name of your book again?

Pennyworth:

I'll be finished in another month or so, then I'll let you know the title and where the work can be obtained.

Gorilla Review:

What format will it be published in?

Pennyworth:

I like the 6 x 9 trade format. It's a little easier on the eyes than the pocket book. I also like eBooks without the restriction of digital rights. Adobe PDF is a good format. It's a portable and readable cross platform format. I'm currently leaning toward ElectricRead.com. They work with Lulu.com and can provide print-on-demand capability. Of course, distribution with Lulu includes the standards like Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, etc.

Gorilla Review:

Sounds good, we'll check back with you in a month or so.
