Editorial Reviews

Review
"Bob Cesca is easily one of the most incisive political writers on the scene today. Nobody else can make me think, laugh and cry–all at once–by simply giving his take on the corrupt political establishment that runs things in Washington."
— Cliff Schecter, Author of The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn't

"The great irony of this book is that Bob's writing is totally fearless. That's what I love about it. Are you allowed to write a fearless book about country living under fear? Whether he is allowed or not, Bob has done it."
— Cenk Uygur, "The Young Turks"

"Fearless and funny, Bob Cesca captures the smart brawling style of today's blogosphere, while putting the press and Republicans on notice."
— Eric Boehlert, Media Matters

"As a liberal blogger of profound depth, righteous outrage and sly humor, Cesca's like a combination of Molly Ivins, H.L. Mencken and Wavy Gravy. I'm not sure what that means but it looks nice in a sentence."
— Steven Weber, Actor/Hockey Mom


Product Description
In post-9/11 America, authoritarians and politicians are happily leaning on the panic button for fun, profit, and the ongoing oppression of a frightened populace. This timely book examines that fear: where it came from, how it's promoted, and what can be done about it. Author Bob Cesca hits a bracingly wide range of targets — the right-wing noise machine, climate change deniers, creeping fascism from the Bush White House — before presenting a sober, sensible plan for fighting and overcoming this potentially irreversible trend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taking Back Our National Character, November 13, 2008
By T. Bond (New York) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We may not always agree with one another politically, but the central thesis of this book, that our politics are tainted with the stench of fear drummed up for political purpose, is one which will light the revolutionary spark that is the birthright of every American - and it comes not a moment too soon. As our nation gears up for "Change" and "Hope" under the administration of our history-making 44th President, we must stand guard against the impulse in ourselves, and others, to cheat America of its best days because we are cowering in fear.

Those familiar with Bob Cesca's writings both on his own blog (www.bobcesca.com) and on the Huffington Post, will be delighted to discover that Bob does not turn into a "stuffy academic" when setting his pen to the longer form. Those not familiar with Mr. Cesca's writings are in for a treat. (And fair warning - tolerance of "colorful language is a must... but it's worth it!) Forceful, assertive, and honest, I've become a fan of Bob Cesca, largely because of how completely forthright, and upright he is. It isn't just that he expresses his opinions with emotional honesty - its that in his expression, both by word and by tone, he demonstrates a thorough and absolute rejection of the politics of hate, division, and fear.

I'm sure that Mr. Bob Cesca and I disagree on a number of points, not limited to his colorful language. But in the reclamation of our national character, defense of our liberties, and refusal to let fear cause us to sell our heritage away, Mr. Cesca will find common cause with patriots everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Passionate Analysis, December 12, 2008
Though disappointed that the book was not released before the election, when it would have been so timely, Cesca's book cuts to the heart of the tragic misuse of the war on terrorism to justify the administrations suspension of Constitutional rights and its uncanny ability to make us accept it without question. The author's passionate and extremely well-documented presentation of his case against these abuses is gripping. I felt like we were sitting face to face in a personal conversation. Cesca's hard-hitting style is tempered by his subtle wit, and his command of prose makes me anxious to dive into his next political book.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Nation Under Review, December 27, 2008
Post 9/11 America is a fear-mongerers playground, pinnacling this year with the 2008 Presidential elections. In One Nation Under Fear, Bob Cesca catalogs some of the nation's most shadowy schemes and sleight-of-hand tricks. Like expanded posts you might find on Cesca's blog (bobcesca.com), each chapter contains the veracity, wit, aggressiveness and blunt points Cesca is known for in the blogosphere. One Nation Under Fear is there as a constant reminder and wake-up call to all Americans with the wherewithal to think. It vows to make us aware and scolds us for allowing things to get so bad, but most importantly it's there to help veer us off the course we've followed for the last 8 years. One Nation Under Fear gets filed with my reference books, and so far is the first that can single-handedly get me fired up, piss me off, and make me laugh out loud -- all on the same page.

A popular post-9/11 slogan is, "We will never forget", in regards to the attacks. After reading this book, you realize that that slogan also fits when looking back at the fear-tactics we've been subjected to in the past decade.
