Thom Hartmann's writings range from extrordinary to amazing. In each and every one of his books and articles, readers can expect facts and history that you were unaware of all your life to suddenly illuminate the way you see the world around you.

I find myself with new tools to interprerate and make sense of news items that sould be screaming headlines in a free society.

Though I do not always agree with Mr. Hartmann (we're talking a 99-1 ration of agreement), I am amazed at his ability to frame arguments for the real facts, and even in the face of total disagreement (such as his radio guests sometimes featured in the first hour), he can walk away from an argument agreeing that one's strong feelings stem from a common ground: love for America.

I write this as I place my order for this book. My other books by Mr. Hartmann have been excellent reads, as well as gifts for relatives that didn't expect to agree on so many issues with a professed liberal. Lastly, it has been my personal tradition every year near the 4th of July, to celebrate the meaning of America by re-reading Thom's summary of the Boston Tea Harbor incident from his previous work, "Unequal Protection".

Every interested American, no matter what side of the fence you are on, will find much common cause with Thom's viewpoint.
