Review:This is an essential book in understanding international relations, history of US intervention abroad and societal power structures. Well written, easy to follow. You need to have some historic background on some of the conflicts and issues discussed.

This is one of my favorite books and definitely have to read more than once to absorb is all. Read more

Review:Fareed Zakaria puts forth a commanding and passionate argument in favor of constitutional liberty over democracy.

As he points out, countries that rushed into democracy without first establishing institutions to secure individual freedom saw democracy degenerate rather than evolve. The world is littered with examples including Iran, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Egypt, and perhaps soon Iraq.

Zakaria views constitutional liberty, which refers to the protection of individual rights via the ru... Read more

Review:Zakaria goes to great lengths to remind us that the words "democracy" and "freedom" are not in the least synonymous. He points to Hong Kong as one example: even before the famed "handover" of the city to Communist China, there was nothing even remotely approaching democracy in the city -yet its capitalistic success and famed tolerance for just about every manner of behavior, fashion, and style points to an extremely free society. On the other side of the coin there are countries like Germany, ... Read more

Review:Thanks, Dr. Paul, for writing this book. It explains most of the important political and economic issues that affect the United States today. Further, the issues are presented in a succinct, interesting fashion. As a retired military officer, I applaud your courage and honesty. You've always been true-blue! Read more

Review:Do you feel like there is something terribly wrong in this country?
If you want true Liberty, then this is a must read book for you.

Be prepared to have your paradigms challenged about what government should do. You'll no doubt also agree on much government shouldn't do. Plus, Murray Rothbard destroys many myths about the rest that you think government must do.

"For A New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto, 2nd Edition" is an uncompromising romp through a world of Pure Liberty. ... Read more

Review:The book offers some insight into Alinsky's methods, but at times it appeared to misstate and oversimplify them with slippery slope arguments. For example, the author talked about one of Saul Alinsky's plots against a clothing store that refused to hire black residents. The plan was to bus in thousands of black people and have them browse the store all day. The goal was to scare off the store's more racist customers, costing them profits and future business. The author tried to argue that th... Read more

Review:I enjoy reading David Horowitz' jabs to the left. I love that he's heckled and prevented from speaking at our great universities...where the free flow of ideas ceased to exist with the dawning of the "Free Speech Movement"(reg. TM)
Events have somewhat passed this book by as a news item, but it's good to remind ourselves who and what these people are. Soros is a modern Oligarch for all seasons, he hated Bush (who didn't...it became quite fashionable with ALL the smart set) and now we have his... Read more

Review:A former participant in the radical movement(s) of the sixties explains what drives most radicals & revolutionaries drawing from history. In doing so he helps the reader understand how and why Obama's radical mentors have influenced his goals in government which in my opinion has pulled his political party too far to the left, leaving moderates behind. How we now mend the divisions in our country remains to be seen. Read more

Review:Laura Ingraham is so right about giving the Hollywood crowd a platform just because they happen to be famous entertainers. It's not like a major political party would let some actor get up and rant in a prime time slot billed as a special event! Please people, just look at the title and follow the command! Read more

Review:First, William Brennan's review below is far more eloquent than anything I could write, so I'll recommend that you read it before you read mine. I can't emphasize how impressed I was by this book. The fact that the author is both a soldier and a scholar provides this book with a truly unique perspective. The author is by no means a pacifist, but rather someone who really understands the costs of war and of entering into it without full societal committment and knowledge. The book's historical se...
