Title: Superficial and self-promoting
Review: Gore Vidal's opus is subtitled "How We Got to be so Hated". The cover promises "penetrating and alarming essays." Would that he had make more than a token attempt to seriously discuss that much needed subject. Unfortunately, the bulk of the book is devoted to a wandering and repetitious discussion of Timothy McVeigh's motives for the Oklahoma City bombing.The book should have been written in 1998 or so; Vidal is out of touch with the new abridgements of American freedoms that have occurred since 9/11/01.In general this was an attempt to pack fifteen page magazine argticle into a 160 page book.
