Every now and then you pick up a non-fiction book about something you think you already know about, and discover that your knowledge is too small, too shallow, and your world view is too provincial to even begin to absorb and analyze the vast and almost evil churning beneath the surface of the world. I was too far away to see this issue clearly at the time it happened, and i am too far away to see the truth of current events in the White House today. But i am gratified to read this well-written, well-researched, and well- meaning book, which has restored my confidence in my yammering inner voice, which without facts to back what is now revealed as true, concluded correctly what i could only imagine to be true at the time. For that reminder to honor my nose concerning judgement of current events, i thank this author, and will carry on much more confidently on my way henceforth.
