Although Senator Webb and I disagree on many political issues, he is in fact one of the few politicians that I respect on either side of the aisle, and even more so as an author. For those that are unfamiliar with him as a writer I encourage you strongly to read his fictional novel A Country Such As This a phenomenal depiction of life at Annapolis and after for three graduates, and Something To Die For a fictional portrayal of the inner workings of the Defense Department.
