His books have always been great. From the very first book the forces of D'Hara pretended to be peaceful while committing atrocities, then kingdoms such as Tamarang forced hard working people to starve for the "common good" of socialism.
Also in "Soul of the Fire" the people of Anderith were conquerers who brought civilization and prosperity to the entire region then were apparently overcome by guilt/liberalism. Minorities were given control over the schools and the new generations were brought up to be ashamed of the achievements of their ancestors and to hate themselves. The descendants of the Anders wind up living as second class citizens and must go to special sensitivity training seminars every week where they're reminded how evil their ancestors were by revisionist historians.
Gee, that sounds like today's public indoctrination in government schools, doesn't it?
Goodkind should be required reading for all budding Conservatives and Libertarians, especially Soul of the Fire and Faith of the Fallen.
