    Good Points: It has a good griping story that has a small amount of truth. The US military will not stand for dictators at home.


    Bad Points: Timothy McVeigh would have loved this book. The book has a very far right wing agenda. The thinly veiled attacks against Hilary and the Democratic Party are taken right out of the worst Red scare tactics of the McCarthy era. To make maters worst for me is that nothing on the jacket to tell me that this book is so right wing.


    General comments: If you look at the Appendix of A State of Disobedience you will be able to tell if you would like this book. If you hate gun control, social security, Medicare of federal taxes of any kind that this is the book for you. If you love Jim Crow laws, states rights, and sharecropping you will like were this book is taking the US after its end. For all others don't even think about it.

Now she begins to use the military to further her attempts at consolidating control in a police sta ...
