In A NATION OF SHEEP, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano frankly discusses how the federal government has circumvented the Constitution and is systematically dismantling the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of American democracy. He challenges Americans to recognize that they are being led down a very dangerous path and that the cost of following without challenge is the loss of the basic freedoms that facilitate our pursuit of happiness and that define us as a nation.

Judge Napolitano reminds readers what America is all about, that the purpose of government is to protect freedom, and freedom is the ability to follow your own free will and not the will of government bureaucrats. He asks the simple question, which are YOU, a sheep or a wolf? Do you blindly follow behind where you are led, or do you challenge the government at every pass, forcing it to make decisions that will protect our freedoms?

Judge Napolitano asks the questions that no one else will, challenging readers to rethink why they are blindly following a government that has only its own interests in mind. He asks:

Why is the government using the war on terror as an excuse to sidestep the Constitution?
Why are Americans not challenging and questioning the government as it continues to limit more and more of our freedoms?
What part of "Congress shall make no law..." does the government not understand when it criminalizes speech?
Whatever happened to our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, guaranteed by the Constitution, yet ignored by the governments elected to protect them?
Why does every public office holder swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet very few follow it?
Don't we have rights that are guaranteed and cannot be taken from us?

It's scary how much our elected officials LIE about upholding the Constitution when they are sworn in.

A very good book and I suggest everyone read it. But It may give a similar feeling as when reading 1964.

Many people are happy with the "status quo", going along with the day to day changes. This book challenges people to look into their daily lives and inspect his/her definition of liberty as of the present events.
This book is recommended for quiet introspection.

Improving History's Accuracy

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2008

Verified Purchase

Judge Napolitano hits another eye-opening winner for anyone who wants to continually fine-tune their insight into the U.S. Constitution and our history. Just as he did in his book The Constitution in Exile: How the Federal Government Has Seized Power by Rewriting the Supreme Law of the Land he minces no words when it comes to the abuses we face today. This is a really strong read and when you combine it with the new book The Revolution: A Manifesto you'll have a really strong foundation for discussing the challenges our liberty and freedom face today.

If he were only allowed to speak so plainly on Rupert Murdoch's FOX network I may still be a viewer. Since he's not I am glad he's brought out another refreshing look at why we the people need to constantly be alert for further government control and a growing sheep population.

Be Scared; Be Very, Very Scared......

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2007

Verified Purchase

A Nation of Sheep is a book that documents the abuses that are being perpetrated on the American public on a daily basis, and it contains a litany of instances where the current administration has broken the law by violating the Constitution. It is written in a very readable style, and is a relatively quick, but detailed, look at the various types of abuse.

I did find several problems with the book. First, I got the sheep and wolf analogy the first time and the second time, and every time thereafter. About the 5th time got annoying; by the 10th I wanted to quit reading the book. In addition, there is really no conclusion to the book. The author makes a few mild statements about what might potentially cure the problem, but doesn't really advocate any change, other than to tell us all to quit being sheep and start becoming wolves.

While actually a three star bok due to the problems, I will give the book 4 stars because I think it's a very important book for the public to read. After reading it, if you are not scared, you really haven't been paying attention.

Written with the style and insight of a deep thinker with insight from his many years within the beltway and associations with the courts. He has provided insightful narrative on the state of the people who have become "a nation of sheep" although I would have wanted to here more of his remedy for taking back the nation the first job is to awaken the sheep which he has done in this book.

A Conservative Who Gets It

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2008

Verified Purchase

Sometimes, it seems, we conservatives can't see the forest for the trees. We are the idealogues who are supposed to believe in limited government, the rule of law, and absolute, unencumbered liberty. The Constitution, as viewed by conservative eyes, is a document of government restraint--not government power.

Judge Andrew Napolitano, a constitutional scholar and FOX News judicial consultant, understands this, yet laments that so many people--fellow conservatives included--have willingly enabled the federal government to undermine our God-given, inalienable freedom. . .all under the guise of "keeping us safe." And he presents his arguments--in a clear, concise, and articulate manner--in his book A NATION OF SHEEP (very aptly titled).

Judge Napolitano is concerned, and rightly so, about the erosion of our civil liberties--by an administration that claims to be "conservative." To the contrary. The suspension of habeas corpus, warrantless eavesdropping and surveillance, arbitrary executive power grabs, torture and kidnapping, suppression of the press: These are not "conservative" values, by any stretch of the imagination. Yet the good jurist points out how we as a people--as a nation of sheep--have willingly allowed the federal government to absorb these extraordinary powers; how instead of resistance we quietly acquiesce. And if we, as a people, willingly and incrementally surrender our freedoms to the government, Napolitano warns, we grant more and more power to a government that will never, ever, relinquish it.

A NATION OF SHEEP is as brilliant as it is fundamentally disturbing. The horrific events of 9/11 have exacerbated the federal government's power grab; it is time to elect leaders who will uphold--not violate--the Constitution. In fact, at the end of this book, Judge Napolitano includes two documents that should be required reading for every American: The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States. This conservative judge gets it; here's hoping his fellow conservatives wake up, before it is too late.
