I received a free copy from the publisher before an event at my bookstore.
Is it possible to "enjoy" a book that shows you that you don't know even a tiny percentage of what is going on behind the scenes of our economy, government, and country? At several points in this reading, I sucked in my breath or said an expletive. However, I'm so glad that I read it, and that I was able to ask the author questions. I truly think this is a book that every over the age of 15 should be reading. It might be centered on an event that happened 10 years ago, but it is absolutely speaking to everything that is happening now and will be happening if we don't do something to save our planet and our humanity.
