Book Reviews of Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!

Book Review: "The truth hurts sometimes"
Summary: 5 Stars

I found this book to be a very interesting insider's look at how the two party political system has had a strangle hold on the people of the United States. Jesse Ventura may be considered by some as a "radical," but he truly represents what most Americans are and how they think. As Americans we have been given a two party political system that has often left most voters with a choice between the lesser of two evils in terms of candidates. Starting a third party would not only give voters more of a choice, but would allow the "ours and your party" politics that currently go on today to have a tie breaker or other choice in terms of policy. Often politicians disagree just because they are in two different parties. The issue is not what is always go for the people, but what is good for the career of the politician or their party.

Jesse Ventura broke into the world of politics as an outsider and truly made a change while governor of his home state of Minnesota. This book also gives you a background on Ventura as a true patriot of America as a Navy Seal during the Vietnam War and his life since leaving the office of Governor. While the title of the book "Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!" may draw some controversy from conservatives, it lets the readers know that Ventura stands behind his feelings and words in the book. The "Revolution" of change may be needed in American politics, but as Americans we have to have our voices heard to do that.

While you may not agree with everything Jesse Ventura believes in this book, it may be an eye opener to readers just how politics have a strangle hold on what occurs day to day in the USA. From wars, healthcare, taxes, and other social services, politicians from the two parties do not agree just because they are not from the same party. The idea may be great, but party lines can not be crossed to the detriment of the citizens.

Summary of Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!

Jesse Ventura?former governor, wrestler, and Navy SEAL?on what's wrong with the Democrats, the Republicans, and politics in America.

Jesse Ventura has had many lives?as a Navy SEAL, as a star of pro wrestling, as an actor, and as the governor of Minnesota. His previous books, I Ain't Got Time to Bleed and Do I Stand Alone?, were both national bestsellers. Don't Start the Revolution Without Me! is the story of his controversial gubernatorial years and his life since deciding not to seek a second term as governor in 2002. Written with award-winning author Dick Russell at a secluded location on Mexico's Baja Peninsula, Ventura's bestselling book reveals for the first time why he left politics?and why he is now considering reentering the arena with a possible independent run for the presidency.

In a fast-paced and often humorous narrative, Ventura pulls no punches in discussing our corrupt two-party system, the disastrous war in Iraq, and what he suspects really happened on September 11. He provides personal insights into the Clinton and Bush presidencies, and elaborates on the ways in which third parties are rendered impotent by the country's two dominant parties. He reveals the illegal role of the CIA in states like Minnesota, sensitive and up-to-date information on the Blackwater security firm, the story of the American spies who shadowed him on a trade mission to Cuba, and what Fidel Castro told him about who really assassinated President John F. Kennedy. This unique political memoir is a must-read for anyone concerned about the direction that America will take. 16 color photographs
