This was a very interesting
read. It was interesting to hear Paul O'Neill's views and
thinking. It is hard for me to determine how true the description
of the decision making process in the Bush administration is. It
describes the decision making process as being virtually soley based on
political considerations.

I liked reading this book, and
know some of the players mentioned. I have meet Dick Clarke. The
book is very critical of various administrations on dealing with
terrorism. The book unrealistically portrays Dick Clarke as one
who knew what the problems were and how to solve them. I think
hindsight has given him a good perspective to look back on...

I read much more non-fiction
than fiction, but I could not put this book down. It is a very
good story and is well written. I bought it after hearing Rush
Limbaugh interview the author on his show.

My favourite non-fiction reading
is books on monarchies and monarchical forms of government. Reading
this book, I felt very sad for Liliuokalani. She wanted what she
thought was best for her Hawaiian subjects, but in the end was out
maneuvered by American businessmen. I learned a great deal about the
customs and monarchy of Hawaii reading this book.

Despite her being unprepared for
royal life and facing depression, the Duchess of Kent has done many
positive things.

blah blah blah

I like Brad Meltzer as an
author. In this book, he again does a good job of writing an
engaging story.

I cannot remember how I learnt
of this book. I like reading books of human errors and how the
errors might have been mitigated.
