One word: IMPECCABLE! She wrote End of America and other books on the coming and present fascism in America. End of America can also be found as a video on the internet under the title and her name. I have read the book a few times and each time it brings tears to my eyes. It is full of strength, righteous indignation, and the power of emergency and yet hope. Don't fail to get the book or sometimes one can find it on the internet for download in the nooks and crannies.

For the introduction to End of America, download it

If this 22 page intro doesn't convince you, nothing will.

I got Joshua Holland's critique from a re-tweet from @NaomiKlein, which implies she approved of it. I put it up because for those interested. But I would have to say, I have come to see Wolf's thesis as being kind of loosey goosey. She may be correct, but her case is kind of weak.

Sorry, I don't know exactly which 'case' you are referring to, but if it is the one in No Logo or End of America, I find nothing wrong with her analysis, alarm, nor suggestions on how to save America and the Planet. Her views are basically those much covered [though in more depth by Klein] now by the Occupy Movement.
