This is an intense, and largely sad, book. I wish I didn't have to say this, but every American and wannabe American should read this. It's the kind of stuff you know is happening, but this book goes into specific details. It is disgusting, infuriating and tragic, disappointing and has the begrudging ring of truth to it. I knew Regan, Nixon, and Bush 2 were horrible men, but I didn't know that term also applied to Bush 1. I know better now. The United States in in such a desperate need of an honorable leader right now. I haven't seen one in my lifetime.
The author details the meddling, murder and financial enslavement he personally performed for the US government and then when his conscious finally caught up with him, the same acts done to his personal project trying to undo any of the damage he caused. He watched his friends get murdered because they were honorable leaders who put the needs of their people first. That's why this book is so frustrating because evil wins, and not in the deserving way.
I believe every American should read this because demanding better of those we elect is the only solution. We must demand that companies are held accountable for the utter destruction they cause at home and abroad and we certainly can't do that while the people in charge are all getting kickbacks from them. Our whole system needs a few key safety measures implemented (computer-generated voting districts to end gerrymandering, publicly funded elections to end "favors" and lobbying, ranked choice voting). That's the only way we stop being responsible for murdering so many thousands of people around the world.
