The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot Audiobook

" This sounded a little dated with all its references to the Bush administration policies, but was still a chilling read the week of the UC Davis pepper spraying of non-violent protesters and crack down on OWS including press intimidation and suppression. "

" This book is true, frightening, and important. Corporate fascism is alive and well in the U.S. today, and this book is a call to action for a new generation of American patriots. If you read this book, you will understand the importance of the Ron Paul Revolution. "

" This book should have been better than it was. She lays out the plan at the start -- she's going to go through a list of the 10 warning signs of impending fascism, point to historical examples of each, and then show similar examples from the present day US. I didn't think she'd do it quite that formulaically -- but she does, and it ends up being a little tedious. I did like that she went for historical parallels beyond the Big Uglies of Stalin and Hitler -- since things that happen in lesser totalitarian states are often a better guide, less well-known, and pretty nasty in their own right. As for the argument, I suppose you could say that about half of her modern-day examples are pretty thin and feel like stretching to make the point. Except, that about half are not, and that's just fucking terrifying right there. "

" scary! because true. "

" Well, this is something every person concerned with the future of America should read! Much of what was presented in the book wasn't new to me but the way it was put forward with reference to historic events and detailed current events...it blew my mind. It has made me more passionate about saving this democracy, even with it's flaws it could be worse. It is quickly on it's way downhill if we don't change direction. "

" Interesting. Very, very interesting... "

" History just keeps repeating herself (until we learn the lessons) and tyranny and terrorism can come from within your own borders from the gatekeepers. "

" This book really needed an editor. "

" Seems to me to be full of paranoia. Not disputing her evidence but seems to be cherry picking the scariest stories and comparisons "

" Wanna learn about how Bush/Cheney and co. systematically copied the fascist playbook? A really quick read and great breakdown of all the little tricks of establishing a totalitarian regime...if you're into that sort of thing. "

" I learned that our way of life is threatened. We are turning to more socialistic ways. The government is taking over more and more. Not good. "

" Everyone should read this. Learn something, know your rights (or lack thereof), and take it for what it's worth to you. "

" An Absolute must-read for anyone interested in our current political state, and our grim history. Wolf gives a very eye-opening and interesting view on why our constitution was written, and the dangers we face with its dismantling. "

" A must read for anyone interested in politics, free speech or any of the other rights given by the Constitution. "

" It's very eye-opening. At first I thought she was just being paranoid, but everything she's saying is from referenceable sources, and the parallels with Goebbels and other fascists are staggering. "

" must read for every american!!! "

" This is an important book to read whether you support the current administration or not. It gives valuable information that is very pertinent to the time in which we live. "

" This is a chilling and important read. It should be at the top of every thinking person's reading list. I always knew there were parallels between the Bush/Cheney Administration and dictatorships throughout history. It was a wake-up to see those parallels laid out in detail. "

" I heard Naomi Wolf speak at Stony Brook after a screening of the documentary based on this book. Both she, the movie, and her book are fascinating looks at the parallels between societies that have fallen into fascism and tyranny and what has transpired in our own country these last 8 years. "

" This book is an enlightening read for anybody who cares about the scary state of America today. It's a powerful, and necessary call to action. "

" Taken with a grain of salt, but still... "

" Solid. Hard to get through, but good information. Scary. "

" This book got me started working in politics. Seriously. "

" Lot's of interesting anecdotes, but a rather obvious and inflated tone. "

" Very good principles about how open societies become closed. Very frightening too. Made me look around a bit more. "

" good audio book. interesting case and arguments "

" I learned that our way of life is threatened. We are turning to more socialistic ways. The government is taking over more and more. Not good. "
