Reviews

As a James Clavell fan,I have read most of his books.
This one is entirely different.
It is tiny. Under 100 pages
It addresses the rote learning experience in our schools and how easily young minds can be taken over.
I believe every single American citizen and those wanting to be citizens should read this. We truly do not ubderstand and do not APPRECIATE what freedom is.....until it disappears!

I search out used books on principle to highlight their value, keep them circulating and out of the landfill (and just because I am compelled to tell people to "read this"!)
