I am female, a veteran, and have entered into discussions concerning politics. This book is a must read for the average citizen that does not have insight into the methods of war. Everyone should know this book. I do recommend, easy read.

It is not that long, like 90 pages. I read it all in one night. There were typos but not many. I don’t have any complaints.
