    <body><![CDATA[It was recomended that I read this book because it deals with politics.  Though this is something I am interested in this book seemed entirely too one sided.  It was more a polemic than a novel, and its attempts to be non-baised were far outweighed by the moments of its blatant one sidedness.  If you are a strong supporter of the right and think that our patriotic duty is to not question either the president or the military then you would like this book.  If, on the other hand, you think that this country was founded by people that questioned the authority over them and that is what made it great, or if you think allowing those in power to act outside the bounds of checks and balances is a bad idea, or even if you think that desenting ideas should not be presented as strawman arguments than this book is not for you.   ]]></body>
