Review:
Reading this book, it does not feel concise. It feels dense. It feels heavy. The tons of footnotes bely how detailed this book actually is. Seidel, however, has taken a topic that could fill a much, much larger multi-volume tome and drilled down to the most important points. Every page, every paragraph, most sentences are important. I learned a lot. I relearned a lot. I feel like I know how this attack on American freedom works. What a fantastic book. I hope that there are no new cases to discuss in the future, but we all know there will be until the crusade is finally crushed.
