Book Reviews of The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot
Book Review: could have been a lot better
Summary: 2 Stars
Not much more to say than what has already been said. Wolfe could have painted a more accurate picture by being a bit more objective and she put too much emphasis on Bush. Additionally the book (at least my copy) was poorly edited. I found numerous blatant typos and poor sentence structure. Unless the book was reprinted with these on purpose to discredit the ability of the author (conspiracy?) I would find a new editor for your next work. If you want to be scared then this book is a short easy read designed to get the fire going quickly. I do believe that there are better books on the subject that are slightly less biased.
Summary of The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot
In a stunning indictment of the Bush administration and Congress, best-selling author Naomi Wolf lays out her case for saving American democracy. In authoritative research and documentation Wolf explains how events of the last six years parallel steps taken in the early years of the 20th century??s worst dictatorships such as Germany, Russia, China, and Chile.The book cuts across political parties and ideologies and speaks directly to those among us who are concerned about the ever-tightening noose being placed around our liberties.
In this timely call to arms, Naomi Wolf compels us to face the way our free America is under assault. She warns us??with the straight-to-fellow-citizens urgency of one of Thomas Paine??s revolutionary pamphlets??that we have little time to lose if our children are to live in real freedom.
??Recent history has profound lessons for us in the U.S. today about how fascist, totalitarian, and other repressive leaders seize and maintain power, especially in what were once democracies. The secret is that these leaders all tend to take very similar, parallel steps. The Founders of this nation were so deeply familiar with tyranny and the habits and practices of tyrants that they set up our checks and balances precisely out of fear of what is unfolding today. We are seeing these same kinds of tactics now closing down freedoms in America, turning our nation into something that in the near future could be quite other than the open society in which we grew up and learned to love liberty,?? states Wolf.
Wolf is taking her message directly to the American people in the most accessible form and as part of a large national campaign to reach out to ordinary Americans about the dangers we face today. This includes a lecture and speaking tour, and being part of the nascent American Freedom Campaign, a grassroots efforts to ensure that presidential candidates pledge to uphold the constitution and protect our liberties from further erosion.
The End of America will shock, enrage, and motivate??spurring us to act, as the Founders would have counted on us to do in a time such as this, as rebels and patriots??to save our liberty and defend our nation.
