I've only started this book (listening to it on Audible), but I thought I'd weigh in with a positive review before Dinesh's detractors weigh in with too many one-star reviews.

His description of his federal trial (for giving straw political donations---the fault for which he fully accepts; he doesn't try to minimize it) and then his description of the San Diego confinement center are worth the price of the book. What a great window into the American criminal justice system!

Regardless of where you are on the conservative-liberal debate or what your feelings are about Dinesh trying to gain political mileage out of his recent incarceration, this book is worth reading simply for the compelling personal story it presents. I've known Dinesh for about five years now, our paths having crossed at various conferences. The Dinesh I find coming through these pages is at once chastened but also emboldened. At some level he's always realized that he was involved with more than a war of words. But here we see a more mature Dinesh who understands how the battles he has fought over the years really play out at the most elemental level of our culture. I'll be very interested to see what he does in coming months and years.

As for why you should read this book, let me suggest two reasons (there are more):

(1) To understand the perverse incentive structure in our prosecutorial system, especially at the federal level, in which if the government decides to go after you, innocence and motive mean nothing --- prosecutors get rewarded for putting your head on a pike and the system itself regards this as a success deserving promotion.

(2) The bureacratic stupidity and incompetence of the system charged with oversight of those who have been convicted of a crime.

Dinesh D'Souza, who is a noted Conservative author and speaker, made a dumb mistake in donating to a political campaign. Rather than donating safely and legally through a PAC, which insures legal and nearly unlimited donations, he naively reimbursed two people for donations, thus violating US campaign donation laws. Closely watched by political enemies, he found himself on the wrong side of the courtroom, handing over his retirement account in one lump sum to a top-notch attorney who couldn't do much for him. D'Souza was sentenced to eight months of "confinement" --which sounds less bad than prison but in actuality, is being locked up at night with murderers and rapists and gang members on their way out of prison. A complex set of niggling rules, worse than probation and a judge who sentenced him to "more therapy" despite a diagnosis of "normal" "I just want to HELP this person" completes the re-education of Dinesh D'Souza. If this sounds a lot like Solzhenitsyn, it's no accident. D'Souza even mentions a passage from the chilling "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich"--the story of one thousands of POWs put in a gulag as a "traitor". But it reminds me much more of "The First Circle"--where the political prisoners of a certain class were sent.

Dinesh D'Souza spends the next eight months in the company of drug dealers, gang members and murderers, learning about their life, who has money ("more than Bill Gates! If Microsoft goes down, he goes down.") and how they operate in their world. It was an astonishing re-education. Here was a world far from D'Souza's own, but its draconian rules and heights of drama gave him insight into the world of his own--the world of political machinations.

D'Souza has done it again...very well written book, well documented & researched. I read it straight through in less than 2 days. The only thing I don't understand is why it took him so long to have his "epiphany" that the current administration is essentially just a criminal machine/gang , running things mostly to benefit themselves & their masters(bankers/corporate globalist elitists). I mean, I'm not half as smart & connected as Dinesh and I had my "epiphany" many years ago ! Anyway, his book is a MUST read for anyone who plans on voting in November 2016.

Fantastic book, Dinesh tells an informative and riveting story of his own account. The story will leave you disgusted with liberal politics and sheds light on the underhanded yet dangerous tools employed by the government to silence and punish their opponents.

I wish I were more surprised by the tactics used by an over-reaching government on their quest to silence those who criticize them. D'Souza has a knack for pulling you into his story with details, facts, and colorful opinions that make you feel like part of his struggle and fight.

The resilient and brilliant Dinesh D'Souza is the personification of the adage that you can't keep a good man down. This book became an instant best-seller because his insights, his rare understanding of the inner workings of American politics, and his utter fearlessness make it a magnificent read. I would say, "Read it and weep," except for the fact that the author leaves one unweeping, unbloodied and unbowed -- like him. Bravissimo! A tour de force and a must-read.
