This book has a special place in my heart because I read the entire thing in one night while in college in a caffeine-fueled mania. It was the night before my early morning final exam for a political science class. The professor told the class that--if my memory serves me--80 percent of the final would come from this book. Guess what? I hadn't even yet cracked the book open. Thus began the most memorable "all-nighter" of my university career.

I am happy to say that I aced the final, though I could feel the caffeine buzz wearing off during the exam and had to fight to stay awake.

Oh, and you know what? This book was actually a good read. (Or maybe it seemed to be because I had to force myself to absorb all of it in about eight hours.
