His writing style is deceptively beguiling, drawing one along by the pacy narrative. Alas, whilst his subject "the combustible cocktail of wilful ignorance and veniality that is fuelling the destruction of the USA" is compelling, one can't help feeling he pulls his punches by choosing less than enthralling examples. Nevertheless, he does add to the understanding of what most political commentators in the US regard as a government under attack - by its own leaders.
