Joshua Phillips

The exact thing I expected to learn.

Revisado: 11-25-23

A well-rounded individual, with lots of good and bad traits. Beautiful in how it seems that his personality traits, the good and bad, did not really change with his success. Those who attempted to get him to conform, according to this book, are the same types that once they gain control through diligence, seize it, and suppress others in their attempt to innovative. If those tyrants that ran Twitter, now called X, for example, took the same approach Elon did, there would be hundreds and thousands of Elon's out there, all competing for a shot to make it to the Stars.

This book was as comprehensive as one could ask for for someone who loves what I have always considered top be the, "Perfect War!"

Interesting take on one of the founding fathers.

Revisado: 08-01-18

Definitely a well written and narrated work. Both authors did their homework and I hope to see more of this style of historical reflection geared toward other framers and founders by both of these men.

Based on what was presented, however, and this is just one man's opinion, just because Madison applied his executive authority in a manner that promoted his executive position compared to when he was first constructing the Constitution does not definitively imply that he would have argued the founding document should "evolve" with the time. People evolve, but the founding documents, which were constructed to establish a Union, would have never been agreed upon had the authors conclusion of Madison's been his own. Madison was doing his best, as President, to interpret his understanding of executive authority based on constitutional principles, not actively arguing to undermine it at the end.

Seems to me that the conclusion by the authors of this well-constructed work either deliberately or ignorantly promoted modern progressive ideology in their belief that the Constitution "evolves" with the times. Sure there are ways to modify it, but one must get to the root of the language used at the time in which it was ratified to truly understand it and not conclude that it is "living and breathing" as Wilson and the modern left so do today.

Nazis and Japanese win WWII.

Revisado: 02-28-18

WWII ended and the Allies lost. Totalitarian regimes now rule and "efficiency" replaced liberty.

In this look at alternate history, the Nazis and Japanese have divided the world after their victory over an unprepared West. The story is discussed the life of many individuals connected to one another through an outlawed fictional novel called, The Grasshopper. The Grasshopper presents a look for those in the story of The Man in the High Castle an alternate history as well, but this time where the West is victorious.

The chain of events that unfold in The Man in the High Castle are tragic, but give a realistic look at a contemporary world ran by oppression. WMDs are available and used as a means to destroy, not protect. God is replaced by science and an Easten form of paganism. In the end, the book just leads to a conclusion of more questions about our own future.

Comparing the book to the Amazon series, there are so many differences in character personalities, it's almost impossible to list all of them. It is like the producers of the Amazon series heard the idea of the book and made up their own version.
