— Camille, 1/19/2014" This book was fantastic! The historical illustrations demonstrated Mr. Greene's points perfectly, and his summation of the truly amoral game of power played by people everyday was startlingly accurate. I even noticed things I already do in the book, as well as plenty of things other people are doing. Great read! "
