Title: Hit & miss
Product review: Glassner has an interesting premise and much of the book is well written and thoroughly researched. However, he does seem to fall into his own trap sometimes, citing a number of things that Americans should fear instead of the bogeymen that he cites. In many of these instances, he provides no supporting data and gives somewhat nonsensical conclusions. The book also jumps around a lot from topic to topic and never seems to tie everything together at the end--as if you were reading a collection of articles with the same theme but on different topics. Overall, the book is fairly well conceived but poorly executed and ultimately unconvincing.
