This was an excellent Amazon vendor. I received my book promptly. The book was the best price available and was in very good condition as advertised. I would certainly order from this vendor again.

A great book not recommended for ideological prejudice - mind readers. It might be that our leaders whether political or religious, are driving more for his / her diminish sense of self than for ideology, creed or believe. Their "true followers/believers" sometimes are useful only for enhancing personal purposes derived from an internally damage - ego - ashamed - poorly personal sense -self.

The description of the urge to kill in the name of God and other ideologies is well chronicled in this book, as is the need to identify an "evil other." The authors, however, miss the forest for the well chronicled trees. The violence is rooted more in male biology than paranoid psychology. Male biology needs to form "teams" and violently compete with and exterminate each other, and it is extremely inventive in doing so, from football teams to religions.

James Jesus Angleton: These writers would have you believe that JJA was paranoid and there were no MOLES inside the CIA. The recent revelations about John Arthur Paisley and Aldridge Ames prove that JJA was sane, correct, and on the scent. Paisley?s death is a mystery that no one has yet explained! One of the few people who know the truth about Paisley, Senator Ted Kennedy, is NOT TALKING!

J. Edgar Hoover: He was the best counterintelligence director since George Washington's extensive intelligence organization during the Revolutionary War! One of the most interesting facts to emerge is the recent revelation that J. Edgar had an agent at the top levels of the Soviet Government that remained undetected. He deserves a lot of credit and there are a number of us out here that believe that 9/11 may not have happened had the FBI not deteriorated so much from the standards that J. Edgar established.
