The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot

Ms. Wolf's book was thought provoking. She addresses the devasting mistakes from the past by Germany and Italy, countries we severely criticized and punished, while warns the reader that we are seemingly doomed to replicate these same inhumane tatics in this country if we do not take action.

It was a very easy and comprehensive read. This book allows the reader great insight into the threats we are facing in this country regarding our rights and civil liberties being gradually dismantled. She reports the steps that are leading us down the slippery slope, and encourages us to take action. It was a very compelling read. I highly recommend this book to everyone, regardless of their political affiliation.

As a parent, as an activist, and as someone who is more than concerned with the way this country is heading, I felt this to be an important work to read; not only for myself, but for my children.

We are living in a time where, if you do NOT assimilate to the governmental belief that the Resident is right, and the Resident is good, and the Resident is doing what is best for this country, then you are a seditionist, a terrorist, and possibly even worse.

Please note the 'Resident' comment is intentional. He is not my President, nor is he ours.

We seem to be on the verge of 1984, where we have always been at war with Eurasia, and Emmanual Goldstein is your hidden enemy.

Think now...because right now, thinking is NOT a crime.

Naomi Wolf give a thorough knowledge and insight of threat in private and professional live by public entities, wich you can experience in private companies too.

Naomi Wolf has written an alarming book that takes a hard look at the hard-right turn made by the Bush-Cheney administration.

She makes the truly salient point that fascism doesn't have to arrive in a cataclysmic shock, but can creep up, piece by piece and law by law to erode rights and instill fear by violence.

She details how the Bush-Cheney crew have done this at every turn, with few obstacles put in their path by the spineless Democrats.

However, her perspective is limited to politics.

Yes, there has been a catastrophic erosion of political rights under Bush-Cheney.

But this is simply the culmination of a decades-long process of military domination of the economy. This domination happened without firing a (domestic) shot: after WWII, both parties, afraid of a return of the Depression, and seeing how military spending buoyed the economy, embarked on a perpetual war-footing--demonizing communists and shackling every district in the country to military spending.

No one dared to question this, even when communism evaporated. To question it was to put oneself and one's community out of a job.

But all this military spending resulted in the subjugation of many, many countries (the installation and/or support of dictators and thugs), and now it has simply brought the same authoritarian domination home.

Bush-Cheney have taken this to its logical conclusion. They have installed (or begun to install) the same sort of government-by-decree we have so long foisted on others.

She gets over the top here and there. But she makes several points that need to be heard. Needs to be read by all.
