Disquieting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A book that all adults should know of.... A look at what we have become and unfortunately will have to live with being seen as for the forseeable future. When a person is ill used at the hands of a corrupt regime, that person will not forget and oftimes will share those feelings with an extended network of friends and family.

May we never again see a day when this type of behavior is sanctioned by our own government
