| I was happy to see that this book was added to Oprah's book club, this ment that millions who never knew of this book would read it or at least hear it's story. I read this in college as part of the debates on wither the US should have entered WW2 before 1941. When I was done I felt that I had been robbed. Not that I didn't enjoy the book but that noone had told me about it before. I would rather have read this in Middle or High school then some of the junk books they forced on us, and while Romeo and Joilet is a fine work ... Read More: |

| Suskind's latest book investigates how the U.S. lost the moral leadership it needs to fight the real threat of our era - a nuclear weapon in the hands of terrorists. We haven't caught a top terrorist of any real value in two years - Suskind believes that's because of a widespread dislike for the U.S. Problems include our lies about and invasion of Iraq, extraordinary renditions, torture, indefinite detentions, and bungling opportunities involving the U.K. and later Iran. (The U.K. bungling was caused by the Cheny/Bush prodding ... Read More: |

| Our country will never be able to live up to the lofty ideals of our founding documents unless we come to grips with the truth of how we got where we are. This book tells the truth about how the people on top have butchered and suppressed others in order to STAY on top. The first 10 pages are absolutely shocking - WHY do we celebrate Columbus Day?
Every American school student should be required to read this, if only to counterbalance the glorious, whitewashed history that is in our textbooks. |

| I certaintly hope that nobody actually considers Klein an expert on economics. This book contained many fanciful tales and creative history, but I challenge the author and her fans to point out one single true fact in the entire book. Klein cannot make a decent argument without instantly resorting to the same tired tabloid approach of re-writing actual history and events to fit her argument. This contains the same anti-capitalist themes and overtones you'll find in a 2nd year college essay. |

| Unbelievable story told through the eyes of a 12 year old boy. I read some of the negative reviews posted on this website related to this book. The reviewers felt his (the author) facts weren't true and some things were impossible to have happened. I want to dispell any commentary surrounding this. Remember, this is being told from a 12 year old child's perspective. It brings awareness to the despicable acts humans place upon each other. And, as always, the most central question remains: What will we do about it? Probably nothing. At the very least, ... Read More: |
