Title says it all
Revisado: 04-03-17
Bewildering, fascinating, and provocative. Very well written. The story weaving was engaging. The book is like watching a train wreck you know will happen and cannot take your eyes from. Recognizing the CIA probably watches these comments is a little chilling. Regardless it's as sadistic as an in depth biography of Hoover. Thinking about that era of America knowing these two sycophants were in charge of internal and external US intelligence and security is something of a Hollywood movie. It is definitely undermining.
At the same time Salon is a leftist rag. So the agenda of the author is very clear regarding progressive and communist antagonist activity. The information on JFK is tantalizing. The book is worth a second read for sure. So many details worth corroborating and research would be entirely pleasurable. So scandalous the TV show has nothing on this book.

What a time warp
Revisado: 08-02-16
So easy to forget what a mess the Clintons make whatever they do. All of the scandals from 20 years ago came rushing back. The dress, Vince Foster, file gate, trooper gate, among others. In the context of Hilliarys most recent incompetency, illegal behavior, and cover up I wonder how they aren't fresher on our minds. If you forget the past you are doomed to repeat it. We are on the doorstep.

It is commonly believed that the Great Depression that began in 1929 resulted from a confluence of events beyond any one person's or government's control. In fact, as Liaquat Ahamed reveals, it was the decisions made by a small number of central bankers that were the primary cause of the economic meltdown, the effects of which set the stage for World War II and reverberated for decades.
