A NATION OF SHEEP - William J. Lederer (1961, Hardcover)

Description: A NATION OF SHEEP - William J. Lederer (1961, Hardcover) Review from another site: "This was a reread. I read it many (many) years ago, but the current state of U.S. politics made me want to read it again to see if we had made any progress in how we formulate and implement our foreign policy. What did I find out? Sadly, we seem doomed to repeat our actions of the 1950s and 60s over and over again. It's "Groundhog Day" in a much more serious and deadly arena. Albert Einstein must be chuckling wryly, or grimacing in his grave as we do the same actions over and over again and expect different results. If you've never read this, try it. It's less than 200 pages, but it should make you think. Back before the Vietnam War was over, Lederer brought to our attention how we ended up in that quagmire. Jump ahead to 2002 and we have sadly not advanced much in our political process and how we develop and administer our foreign policy. Government budget cuts have decimated our intelligence services. The media moguls have seen fit to close many of their foreign posts and rely instead on social media to report the "facts" of situation overseas that might embroil us in a costly and deadly conflict thousands of miles away in a place most of us know very little about." -- Theo FREE MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING TO DOMESTIC ADDRESSES!
