5.0 out of 5 stars Are you ready to lose your political innocence?, June 1, 1998
By A Customer
A real eye-opener! Unless you have some familiarity with the people and events detailed by Mr. Brewton, you will probably find all of his assertions nearly impossible to believe. I would have myself, except that I have been able to confirm several of the details with people directly involved with some of the principals in this book. Of the things I was able to check out, I have not found anything contrary to what Mr. Brewton says. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? Yes No (Report this)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Important Book, December 9, 1998
By A Customer
This is one of the two most important books published in this country this century. The other is "Dark Alliance" by Gary Webb. Brewton is a journalist par excellence. He makes the goose-steppers at the New York Times, LA Times and Washington Post look like the complacent wimps they really are. Yes, Virginia, the S&L "crisis" was a $160 billion ripoff by the mob, the CIA and George Bush and Sons. Read it and weep, America! Comment Comment (1) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

5.0 out of 5 stars No Surprises Here, January 21, 2004

(Chicago) - See all my reviews
Where to begin? As I tallied up all of the mind-boggling abuses of power, criminal activity and greed I became filled with a deep sense of dread. I came to the realization that if only 1% of this book is true then this is a president (a family) that should be behind bars for a very long time. And we are all in some very serious trouble - unless you're Kenny-boy Lay. Dubya's stolen election, lies to start a war and the rampant cronyism plaguing our government today give all the more credence to this awesome work and further demonstrate just how desperately ruthless and vicious the Bush family is. For those of you who dismiss this tome as fiction - there's a reason the first few publishers wouldn't touch it. Here we go again - this time it's global!
