Title: tendentiuos propaganda
Review: It has been over a decade since I read Scheer's ill-informed diatribe against defense in general and Reagan in particular. I don't normally pan books that I read, but I make an exception in this case because it is so awful -- deserving zero stars were such a measure available.Having worked in the defense industry for years, being patronized by a liberal Clintonist flak does not increase my appreciation for the author's arrogant nonsense. His "facts" are uniformly wrong and his conclusions unfounded. But _Shovels_ does reveal a characteristic of liberal "journalists" that was refreshing -- the author includes his interview with Reagan in which he repeatedly interrupts the then-candidate for president. In particular I recall Sheer's moral equivalism between occidental republics and Marxist tyrannies and dismissal of the Soviet GULag. Since I have relatives who perished there, my sentiments to those who find socialist utopian fantasies enlightening is one of disgust.
