But that is what hate litterature does. This book is especially powerful in its attempt to find sharp class lines to allow the "masses" to hate.

This book should be read by everyone but only as a guide of what not to do. It was written by a genius of marketing that took an already fully debunked philosophy (Socialism) and won over the world with it by demonizing the very thing that was saving the world...Laissez Faire Capitalism. This was and could only be done by debasing reality and morality (right and wrong, not the already debased Christian morality) and people's ability to judge things critically. <br /> <br />Its funny that it is paired in amazon.com with the book the prince by Nicolo Machiavelli because that is the other most evil of books that teaches people power politics (The art of Killing your way to control) and is what Marx used to create Communism or Revolutionary international Socialism. <br /> <br />For any of you still thinking that this book is of intellectual value for organizing political societies please read two books: <br />1. Socialism by Ludwig von Mises (The Einstein of economics) <br />2.

This book should be read by everyone but only as a guide of what not to do.

This was and could only be done by debasing reality and morality (right and wrong, not the already debased Christian morality) and people’s ability to judge things critically.

Its funny that it is paired in amazon.com with the book the prince by Nicolo Machiavelli because that is the other most evil of books that teaches people power politics (The art of Killing your way to control) and is what Marx used to create Communism or Revolutionary international Socialism.

For any of you still thinking that this book is of intellectual value for organizing political societies please read two books:

1. Socialism by Ludwig von Mises (The Einstein of economics)

2. Atlas shrugged by Ayn Rand

Those two books alone will lay to rest all of Marx’s fallacies and all fallacies that any form of socialism can work or has ever worked and socialisms claim of being morally valid.

Read those two books because there has only ever been two types of political systems:

1. Slavery

2. Freedom

All political systems throughout history were systems of slavery (Especially Socialism/Communism/Fascism)

The United States tried to put together a system of freedom/liberty just over 200 years ago, but it was quickly perverted because it was not set up correctly.

If you are interested in a political system that promotes Morality (Right and wrong, not Christian morality) Life, Happiness, Freedom, Justus, Liberty and especially abundance, start with reading Atlas Shrugged and then read Socialism.

In the poorest countries of the world that suffer most under the ideas of socialism/communism like Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras these two books are already causing demonstrations in the street against their socialist dominated governments.

The author belabors many fine points in an effort to write the definitive Washington biography; there is no action or mistep so small as to not benefit from a page or more of exculpation and excruciating consideration. There is a running speculative description of Washington's inner world (e.g., his thoughts about ongoing construction and planting at Mount Vernon during early revolutionary campaigns, his tightly controlled passions, and his conflicted feelings about slavery) amidst the story of his work with other "First Fathers". It is a very personalized biography; that is, the author freely and openly shares his own opinion of Washington's actions, and what might have happened "if". I found myself wishing at times for a sidebar, which might have permitted a clearer exposition of history v. the author's well formed and learned opinion.

Levine - when you think of all the overhead/production costs saved in the making of digital books over hardcover versions, I'm shocked that the $19.99 cost of the Kindle version of this book is less than $2 below the price of the hard copy. I agree - this isn't the reason I got a Kindle. Rating: 2 / 5 I agree with reviewer J.M.

He sounds like a computer. The sound quality is terrible. I was surprised because I have the audio version of Chernow's book on Hamilton and the reading is excellent. Something is wrong with this one. I asked two other friends to listen, wondering if I was offbase, but they immediately confirmed that the voice does not sound human. I hesitated to submit a low rating because I do not want it to reflect on the book or Chernow, but I suppose Chernow has to take responsibility for the audio versions. In any case, I am very grateful for the Amazon return policy. Rating: 1 / 5 I bought the book and the audio CDs, 33 of them, read by Scott Brick. He sounds like a computer.
