I enjoyed this book very much. D'Souza was, admittedly, preaching to the choir in many of his assertions, but nevertheless it is a thought-provoking read. I started in May, for crying out loud, and it took me this long to finish--it is definitely a "needs to be digested" read.

A colleague loaned this book to me some time ago, but so many other compelling reads forced me to put this one aside for a while. Given the current social and political climate our "post-racial" president has bestowed upon us, I feel that the insights offerred may be especially prescient now. I will let you know!"

David I am only 92 pages into the book, and it is very well written, and D'Souza has a great narrative style. But there is no "mojo" for me in this book right now. I am not "in the mood" so to speak for this particular book at this time. So, I am taking a break now and reading "Uranium" by Tom Zoellner instead.
