This is a book that I (a) love and (b) dread reading further

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2016

This is a book that I (a) love and (b) dread reading further.
The essence of the message (so far, only 50% thru) is that Washington is a feckless mess, and also that we're all screwed. I love the confirmation of my fears as I've watched our political and governmental system circling the drain during my 60 years circling the sun, but I hate to admit that the solution is us and we aren't willing to be the solution. It's like every Political Science Professor's warning has come true...your government is a reflection of you (and that's ALL of you, not just the good part.)
But, I still recommend it if you're interested in current events and politics.

Note to author: you got some bad advice from your editor when you inserted all that supporting documentation in tiny print...the reprinted letters and articles from various political figures. Reference them, or if you must print (since the web is a moving target and links vanish) use an Appendix approach instead of inserting the supporting material in the flow of the writing.

provides insight into how congress and the federal government really work but won't tell their citizens

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

Tom Coburn, a self imposed three term congressman, writes from his own experience about the negative side of the US congress and federal government. He explains how so many politicians, even those with initially good intents, end up being career politicians, that put much more emphasis on being elected again rather than taking the right hard choices. He gives plenty of examples from his own republican party and the democratic party as well - Mr. Coburn emphasis is that careerism, corruption, and wasteful spending, is rampant regardless of party affiliation.

Good book to read and understand how many of the US elected officials betray their principles and their duty by putting their career first. I find Mr. Coburn to be honest and insightful.

At Last Someone Brave Enough to Expose Congress

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2007

Verified Purchase

This is one of the most rewarding and enlightening books I ever read. It was a real sleeper as far as publicity goes, but everyone should read this book. Liberals who just scrunge up their faces when they hear Senator Coburns name, should think again and read this book. Senator Coburn is a very conservative republican, but he does not rail against liberals or democrats in this book. He must have rightly figured to do so would tag the book as a typical partisan effort. Instead he exposes what the Republican party establishment does and goes after Republican leaders. He only mentions Democrats when he has to in relaying information about any particular congressional bill. He surely didn't win any friends in congress when he exposed the inner workings of that body. Politicians quickly (if they didn't sart out that way) transform into playing the power game. Everything becomes about power and not what is best for the people. The bribes, strong arm tactics, threats, play along to get along, we'll do the right thing later, gotta secure power now kind of shenanigans. You definately do not have to agree with Tom Coburn politically to appreciate this book. It's great to get a birds eye view on why our government does not work. I can see what congress is doing and not doing now and understand why thanks to having read this book. The establishment doesn't want you to read this book, but do yourself a favor and read Breach of Trust. We need to shake things up in Washington and elect new people. In fact Mr. Coburn talks about the 20-25 in congress who stick to their principles and truley work to do the right thing. It's good to know who they are. Let's get a majority like them. To get a feel as to how to do that it helps to read this book. This is eye opening stuff. Thank you, Senator Coburn.

MUST READ

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

Absolutely must read for all Americans. Tom Coburn, retired Senator, is a brilliant author -- was a brilliant statesman -- and I wish we had more men like him in congress. How did we let this gang take charge? Coburn delves into the corruption going on in our Federal government and takes no prisoners. This is a great informational book -- filled with facts and figures -- and proof, in my mind, there has been a breach of trust.

True Conservative

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2003

Verified Purchase

In Breach Of Trust, Tom Coburn recounts some of his experiences as a 3 term US congressman. His efforts to help limit the runaway spending in Washington put him at odds with his own party and with the Washington mindset - where winning elections is the priority of both parties, and responsible policy is the casualty. A major theme is that term limits would be a good method to end careerist politics and permit individual members to vote their conscience. He tells of specific instances where party leaders compromise the best interests of America to present an electable image in the respective home districts. His insights ring true. Dr. Coburn does not pretend to be perfect, and freely admits his own mistakes. His honesty, tenacity, and candor are examples we all should aspire to. I recommend this good book to all fiscal conservatives and anyone interested in the way that Washington works - and why it usually fails.

High Quality Conservative Information but....

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

A great foundational work on what conservative politics should be. I don't remember finding anything I disagreed with in the book that was recommended to me by Jane C., a trusted conservative writer. As a result of reading this book I was interested in Sen. Coburn's 3-hour interview on Book TV about his latest book, and watched with enthusiasm and enjoyment. The four-star rating, rather than 5-star is because he recently was reported to endorse sending military hardware (planes and TANKS) to Egypt (Feb 2013) and that places a big question mark as to the author's sincerity in believing and practicing what he writes.

This Book Changed My Whole Perspective!

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2008

Verified Purchase

As a Christian Conservative, it was eye opening to learn what really happened after the election of 1994. This is truly an insider's view on the whole situation. What I found especially appalling was how the Republicans made sure that no single version of Term Limits could pass. Yet Tom Coburn kept his pledge of serving only 3 terms in the House.

Ever wonder why Coburn, a Republican, keeps getting reelected in a heavily Democrat region? And he got elected to the Senate in 2004 in an election where most Republicans were getting booted out - He won 53% to 41% - a landslide.
