    The author puts out a lot of information here, so this book is very dense. It was a little hard to finish. Not a very compelling read. Somewhat weighed down with details. But then again, that’s the point.

    Ms. Huffington clearly seeks to take no prisoners in her expose of corporate/legislative malfeasance: She names names, she gives dates, she states exact amounts of money. (Eg.: "If you paid $1 of taxes last year, you paid more than Dow Chemical.") In a truly bipartisan castigation of government corruption, she squeals (pun not intended) on Republicans and Democrats alike, making a strong case that the "military/industrial complex" that President Eisenhower warned about has become a military/industrial/legislative complex--with the legislators holding paying jobs in both the military AND the industrial groups they're supposed to regulate. If you believe that capitalism is inherently benevolent, and that the "profit motive" never conflicts with our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, then you probably won't like this book. If, however, you have unsettling suspicions that many of our nation's political actions over the past 3 decades seem to be motivated solely by money... well, this book may provide information that is useful to you. Your call.
