| The author gives a concise if perhaps over simplified appraisal of what is wrong with America and how it came to be. I have to agree with him wholeheartedly. His appraisal of America's military is right on. We have mercenized our army. We give the job of defense to 1% of the population and we all feel good because we have a "Support Our Troops!" sticker on the back of our cars. The Greatest Generation this ain't! |

| Wow! What an awesome and inspiring person. For so many of us, it is easier to sit back and watch rather than participate in a thing called life. Greg Mortenson inspires us to put all of our hopes, dreams, and passions into motion whatever they may be. It goes to show that when we put negativity aside and embrace love for all people, our world becomes a much better place. As far as the writing style of this book, it keeps you on your toes following parts of it, however entertained. Though it took some ... Read More: |

| Bob Woodward is incredible, in that he somehow is able to get the key players in one of the worst political disasters since Watergate to open up to him, and lay their faults out there for all to see.
The actions of the Bush administration are so hard to fathom , that were it not for Mr. Woodward's first person account, we would not believe it was possible, in this day and age. Woodward's style, as shown in his previous works, makes this book a page turner, with all the details to ... Read More: |

| I admire this author, very much, and consider him to be one of the more thoughtful public intelligence minutemen--sadly, the media has failed us, as have the think tanks, and we who wish to know the truth of any matter are left very much on our own.
Here is the short version of this book (ending with NO on the bail-out) courtesy of and with permission of Sterling Seagraves, co-author of GOLD WARRIORS: Many Continental European banks ARE stronger than USA banks, because they have more experience ... Read More: |

| This book is an essential read considering the current economic situation. The vast majority of people including me have no idea of the details of how harmful some economic policies been. This book brings many of those details to light in a way that is both understandable and enthralling. The direct role that the American government and University of Chicago economists have played in both Chile and Russia's disastrous attempts at capitalism are shocking. In fact there are so many things that are shocking, I am somewhat surprised ... Read More: |

| Mr. Filkins' experiences are filled with insight about the effects of war on the common person in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Those common people range from a Marine private in the Marine Corps dodging RPGs to the Iraqi child in the street returning from school who dies due to being at the wrong place at the wrong time when a car bomb explodes.
He is both an excellent writer and story teller. Many of the stories are stark and filled with dread. One such story is about a Humvee on patrol with Filkins inside as vehicle enters an intersection, the ... Read More: |
