Most Americans are good citizens who work hard and pay their taxes. Therefore, many of them falsely believe that THEY don't have anything to "worry about" when the government ignores or circumvents its' Constitutional limitations.  They are especially prone to accept the government's constitutional abuses when the government proclaims that its' actions will make its' citizens safer or more prosperous.  This book will open their eyes and enable them to see how unrestrained big government has ALREADY negatively impacted their lives in many ways and how it will continue to do so if we, as citizens, continue to tolerate its' encroachments on our freedoms.  This book shows how the constitutional abuses we were told would make us safer and more prosperous have actually had the opposite effect.

This book should be required reading for every high school teen taking classes in world government.  It's also a book anyone should read who would like to have a better understanding of the refugee crisis and what has happened in Syria.  The author describes the incredible personal and emotional cost for the families being displaced... The story is both heartbreaking and inspiring.

This book should be part of the curriculum at every high school in America. Between the "establishment" histories and pop culture, we raise children who are thoroughly misinformed about what really happened in our past. In conjunction with Howard Zinn's&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/A-People-s-History-of-the-United-States-1492-to-Present-P-S/dp/0060838655/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (P.S.)</a>&nbsp;or its "young people's" versions, Loewen's iteration could render history relevant to student's lives. A personal example of Loewen's effect is that his reporting on J.Edgar Hoover's white supremacism was one of the keys I used to unlock the story of Billy Graham's undermining of Martin Luther King, Jr. in my biography,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Prince-of-War-Billy-Graham-s-Crusade-for-a-Wholly-Christian-Empire/dp/061516272X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Prince of War: Billy Graham's Crusade for a Wholly Christian Empire</a>. I keep my copy of LIES MY TEACHER TOLD ME near at hand in my office, as a quick reference on spuriousness in reporting. This book is essential.

This needs to be in every American's house and required reading in all civics classes. The author ties in the letters written in the early 1700's to today's politics. Cato's letters player a part in the Founding Fathers construction of our Constitution, the very reason why America became America.

I think this book should be required reading for EVERY high school student in the United States!  My two grandsons, ages 10 and 12 have read it and learned tons of history about this nation and the cost of our freedom!  A book not to miss reading!!

This book should be compulsive reading for all students in high school.  I also would encourage all adults to read, study, and take to heart what Mr. Snyder writes about.  We have taken our democracy for granted and now we have a situation in our country where what citizens and government have worked for for so long is being dismantled.  The book is a short read but with clear messaging and ways to combat what is happening.  I highly recommend this book.

This book should be mandatory reading in high-schools.  While everyone may not agree with her philosophies (I do personally), it is an EXCELLENT description of the power of capitalism and the dangers that systems like socialism and progressive ideologies can present.  While some of the writing is a bit mechanical (mostly because Rand learned English as a second language), the writing is excellent, engaging and believable.  I re-read it at least once a year, and with the current 2016 elections around the corner, it's definitely a novel to get discussions brewing on both sides of the political spectrum.  Absolutely a must read.

Should be required reading for all, especially elected officials who create policies and programs so that we can be of positive help to all members of our society.

This book should be "must" reading for every present and aspiring national politician.  Each of us should ask every one of them how they DARE purport to swear allegiance to the Constitution if they have not read this book from cover to cover.
