5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but it is now in print as Wag The Dog, November 4, 2005

This review is from: American Hero (Hardcover)

Please note, if you want a new copy of this book, buy the novel by the same author -Larry Beinhart- entitled Wag The Dog. The movie was based on the novel, American Hero, both are now called Wag The Dog.

THE BOOK IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE MOVIE. The novel is well worth the read. Mamet did a fine job turning this into a screenplay.

This review is from: American Hero (Audio CD)

This is available domestically for (much less)! It's exactly the same as "RX For The Blues". Unless you have information that the sound quality is better, stay away. Another reviewer has some insight into the origins of this material under that release.
