Before the Patriot Act, there was . . . The R Document As crime and violence threaten to engulf America, the President proposes a daring new amendment to the Constitution, allowing the Bill of Rights... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Full of suspense, intrigue, and mystery. This is a real page-turner. The two main characters, the Attorney General of the United States and the Director of the FBI, are pitted against each other in a plot designed to change the United States forever. Although written in the 1970s, it could just have easily been written today, substituting the Patriot Act for the R Document.
One of the best (if not the best) novels in intrigue* * * *

I have read this book more than a decade ago and still remember it well. It's a shame and a disappointment that this novel still has not been made into a movie. If there is a perfect portrayal of abuse and/or usurpation of power in high government positions, this has got to be it. Extremely intriguing and gives light to the fine line of protocol in our government's order of succession to the presidency. The conspiracy is surprisingly and scaringly feasible. Who is to say this could never happen????
