This book is awesome. I'm 3/4 through it and every page has a new detail I never heard of before. It should be required reading for every history student.

I'm sending a copy to my wife's niece who is a graduate student in history.

She (shudder) actually took a class in "Comparative Communism" and I sent her the Black Book of Communism with a short note explaining that the differences are nil and that all commie states put goverment as god and man subserviant to the state and free countries the man is above the state.

I don't think she got it though as now she is going to Brown.

I just finished it and had a great time. The book is fun, informative and the leftie press hates it. There is a lot of new, for me, information in there. Schweizer's Victory is a better book but this one on Reagan is a worthwhile companion to it.
