 Stunning revelations August 9, 2008
20 out of 30 found this review helpful
This book floored me. Page after page I was stunned by the revelations. What amplifies it is that Suskind has everything meticulously documented. I think this book will be the key historical document to break the whole thing wide open (like the Pentagon Papers during Watergate). The credibility of our nation is truly in jeapardy by the despicable events detailed in Suskind's book. He is an American hero and patriot for coming forward with the truth.
A Progressive Way to View the American Future September 8, 2008

Suskind sufaces people who care deeply about major geopolitical issues and are going about solving them in entirely NGO ways. At the same time he brings needed clarity to the picture of Bush 43's self serving, duplicitous foreign policy failures. Could the evidence for impeaching George W. Bush and Dick Cheney finally be in the open? Too bad there's not enough time in their terms to find out...
Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid. September 8, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a corporate director I am very concerned about the direction our nation is heading particularly in the areas of trade deficits, loss of manufacturing, lack of immigration reform and our wrong-headed energy policies (using our corn for fuel; how stupid is this). But more than these concerns are the concerns for my family and the American way of life. I can live with an incompetent government to a degree, but now our very lives are at stake due to our lose of direction.
This book is a must read for everyone that believes our nation and our way of life is important. As the book so adeptly points out, we are on a slippery slope and help does not seem to be on the horizon. Neither Congress nor the executive branch offers any hope. Our current presidential candidates are under-whelming to say the least. Maybe if Palin and Biden were on top of the ticket I would feel better - probably not.
Please read this important book and pass along the information to others. The information is disturbing but very real and well researched. Just in case you're wondering, I vote Republican. Michael L. Gooch, SPHR Author of Wingtips with Spurs

Suskind gives an excellent view into a handful of people trying to provide new perspective and solutions to problems in our shrinking world.
some Truth and some Hope September 15, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book simultaneously looks backward and toward the future regarding THE major task of our time. There are some "revelations," accusations, etc. regarding the past; but more important are the glimpses, hints, etc. of the way forward. Reading much like an exciting, multi-character novel, we closely track several contemporary happenings--all based (the author directly assures me) on thousands of interviews, many taped ones, including those when he was present.
One senses the careful urgency, the need to correct mistakes, make different choices, and the areas and means/avenues of hope, along with the growing awareness of the immensity of the complex problem and the need to get busy in some very, very different ways. A book to be read and re-read, a must for every American able to think beyond "We're all powerful; we're always right; just "stomp 'em." A much needed SMASH!!
