I'll return to this writing after I've read this neat little book a second time. The writer deserves our attention, considering what he and his family have contributed to the US. I too spent 23 years in the US Army, RA (VN), Reserve, NG. So I am biased toward the author.
As a "Green," I must confess that there is nothing really new here, other than a shift in leading characters. Greens have talked about bottom-up sustainability, accountability and US foreign reliance for more than two decades. (See every Green Party Platform, not just the "Green movement's outspoken agenda.) The idea that the US has propagandized self-reliance (a Republican virtue) while relying on other nations for its economy at the expense to all, including the environment, is an old idea.
I recommend this book for all, in any case, and it should be in every high school social studies' curriculum one way or another.
