5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for any citizen., 26 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This book contains some of the most powerful examples of what is going wrong with the USA today, and provides insight on what we should be going different. I read dozens of books a year on politics and current affairs and I think this is the best book I've read this decade. I recommend this book to everyone I can. The book has facinating historical references that are compiled like no other book I've seen. You won't be disappointed.
