What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been: A Hippy’s History Of The 60s & Beyond Item #GD01 Lewis Sanders unleashes a steady stream of observations and theories concerning the recent history of our political system that begins with John Kennedy and ends with Bush. He firmly grabs the reader’s passion and doesn’t let go until the blood begins to boil with anger with unrelenting, biting prose in the style of Paul Krassner or the late Abbie Hoffman. He’s done his research, injected plenty of witty personal insights, and tied it together in a freewheelin’ style that makes him extremely personable. Throughout, he reminds us of recent atrocities, lies, and cover-ups from our elected officials. It’s a sad commentary on our hectic culture, when we tend to allow our memories to fade on such important crimes. We need writers such as Lewis to rekindle those emotions, so we don’t lose sight that our elected government officials, from the President down to a small-town dogcatcher, aren’t royalty, but, instead, are there to serve us. If there’s a lesson to be learned in this easy-to-read history book, it’s we must police those decision-makers we elect because every move they make affects our lives. Recent events are proof enough that our best interest is not always the first thing on their minds. $14.00 |
