false 2351041 1 <B>Jesse Ventura&#151;former governor, wrestler, and Navy SEAL&#151;on what's wrong with the Democrats, the Republicans, and politics in America.</B><BR><BR>Jesse Ventura has had many lives&#151;as a Navy SEAL, as a star of pro wrestling, as an actor, and as the governor of Minnesota. His previous books, <I>I Ain't Got Time to Bleed</I> and <I>Do I Stand Alone</I>?, were both national bestsellers. <I>Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!</I> 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 new book reveals for the first time why he left politics&#151;and why he is now considering reentering the arena with a possible independent run for the presidency in 2008.<BR><BR>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 in 2008. 16 b/w photographs. 2357753 1 4 2008 Don't Start the Revolution Without Me! total:51|5:6|4:19|3:16|2:10|1:0| 51 174 98 22 2 1 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 10 14:53:28 -0700 2008 Sun Feb 15 11:42:10 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Feb 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 13:04:33 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 13:05:06 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jul 14 01:36:37 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 01:36:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 26 14:53:08 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 26 09:11:48 -0800 2009
