can you give a book 0 stars? this book might deserve less than that. I despised reading this book and want every second of my life spent reading it given back to me.
Clearly, meant for hardcore right-wingers and christians. Poorly written and laughably devoid of any citations.
Kevin Shipp is clearly just pandering a book to gullible fools with no critical thinking skills or concern for other ideologies beyond their own. His opinions (and that is what they are) reek of the demagoguery of thoughtless sycophants. Has the CIA ever done anything wrong? Not if you ask Kevin. He spends so much of the book fellating the concepts of American exceptionalism and imperialism that it's no wonder he forgot to include anything resembling a bibliography.
This book is disgusting.

Kevin Shipp's father served in the CIA, and he did as well. This documents his time there, part of the book is like watching an episode of "Jack Ryan". Unfortunately the CIA is seriously compromised, they are nothing like what they used to be before the collapse of the Soviet Union, in some ways the CIA never recovered and only became worse, far worse. When I read that the CIA is involved with FB, Twitter, Google (and their subsidiary YT) it is unfortunately easy to believe. Our country is in deep, deep trouble.
