Excellent for understanding the "big picture" of the United States and the relationships that many in the various branches of government and business have had with peoples of the world. He highlights how others view all Americans because of "them" and the consequences of the choices or "Blowback". Mr. Johnson discusses the behind the scenes events that we (the majority of Americans) have partial or absolutely no knowledge of the clandestine activities of our government and military.
I don't usually even read this sort of book-I like children's, crafts, and how-to books but this is a must read for all Americans.
