I read The Path to Tyranny.  Thank you, Michael Newton, for writing it! It is excellent, and opened my eyes to a lot of things going on (wrong) in this country. I noticed that someone said it should be required reading in our educational systems.  Yes, and beyond.  This book should be read by all Americans, to see where we have been and get a glimpse of where we are probably heading.

Well done! The book is well written, and easy for the layman to read.

This should be required reading in all levels of education in this country. Maybe then the crap the liberals have been trying to ram down America's throat would cease and desist for all times

This book should be required reading for every man, woman & child in not only the U.S., but the immediate world.  The writing is clear and the message is direct and to the point.  It's all there ... the science, the research and the results.  I use it as a reference and suggest others do the same.

This book should be required reading for every American. Using research and anecdotes as well as personal experience, he leads the reader to understand why Vietnam veterans so often experience PTSD when veterans of previous wars did not. His conclusion that we are training our young men to become vicious killers through "entertainment" is frighteningly obvious. This book is not for men only: every wife, mother, sister, and friend of a veteran or a young man should read this too. It really has helped me understand the Vietnam veteran I am married to.  If only film and video game makers would read it!

This should be required reading for every 5th grade student.  Always be kinder than necessary. If only we could all live by this rule.

This book should be mandatory reading for every American who cares about why Americans are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, and what's secretly destroying our military from within.  Our government is infected with a quiet, creeping cancer, and most of us have no clue.  The threat is real, and national security at stake, and failure to educate ourselves on this issue could lead to the total destruction of everything we hold dear as Americans.  We've had 8 years of warning and desruction, and assaults upon our Constitution, but how many think it's over?  Guess again.  Read this book.

Should be a required reading for every student in school- it's a surety Obama has never read it. All liberals need to read it.

"War Lessons" should be required reading in schools, universities as well as for everyone working in government.  Not only does John Merson share of his experiences in Viet Nam and how those experiences shaped his life, but he also reflects back on those experiences in order to give very positive suggestions how the US could play a more positive role in the world.  His suggestions, while idealistic, are extremely important and should be taken seriously by military and political leaders.  Without a doubt the US military needs to play a new and more effective role in the world and this book lays the groundwork for what that role might be.

Read this book as a class and use the questions at the end for discussions.  It will give a new and deeper understanding of what happend in Viet Nam and, if taken seriously, help prevent similar wars from happening again - although Iraq and Afganistan are already repeating so many of the mistakes made earlier.
