Reviews:
One of the most important books that's been written, certainly in the last decade or two, and perhaps in my lifetime.
-- Thom Hartmann, best-selling author and host of The Thom Hartmann Radio Program
Naomi Wolf's End of America is a vivid, urgent, mandatory wake-up call that addresses momentous issues of tyranny, democracy, and survival.ä
--Blanche Wiesen Cook, author of the three-volume Eleanor Roosevelt
The framers of our Constitution fully understood that it can happen here. Patriots like Madison, Paine, and Franklin would certainly applaud Naomi Wolf and recognize her as a sister in their struggle.
--Mark Crispin Miller, author of Fooled Again
You will be shocked and disturbed by this book. Most Americans reject outright any comparison of post 9/11 America with the fascism and totalitarianism of Nazi Germany or Pinochet's Chile. Sadly, the parallels and similarities, what Wolf calls the "echoes" between those societies and America today, are all too compelling.
--Michael Ratner, Center for Constitutional Rights
PROMO New Book (follow up to End of America):
In GIVE ME LIBERTY: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries (Simon & Schuster; September 16, 2008; $13.95), Wolf investigates the roots of a growing national malaise that has bred "fake democracy" in the United States over the last three decades, a condition marked by equally fake patriotism and a modern notion that we Americans are "the Elect." This is direct heresy against the founders' intent, Wolf says: Jefferson, Adams, Franklin and the rest "did not create liberty for America, but America for liberty, which they understood as part of universal law. The founders had made it clear that we were not supposed to see ourselves as constituents, voters or recipients of the leadership of our representatives. We ordinary people were supposed to run things ourselves."
