Great Great Book,

This review is from: Notes on the State of America: A Compilation of Less Commonly Discussed Facts and Historical Events (Paperback)
This book is very informative and reveals the truth (with proven facts and stats) about the government's deception to the American people and more importantly to humanity. The average American will probably be offended by the author's facts because no American wants to think or believe that their government is "evil". Read this book with an open mind and debate to yourself about America's true motive in the world...it's own self-interest.
