content: I've read the book, I've read the reviews on Amazon.com. All I can say is at least I borrowed the book instead of paying for it. Firstly, this is an exceptionally boring read. Clancy's incestuous attitude to things American is sickening - the level economic playing field he preaches was especially nauseating. His chauvinist style when writing about women is dated to say the least. His bigotted style when writing about all non-Caucasians would see him accepted into the KKK without too much trouble. His characters have not matured, rather have become caricatures, at best, of the American Catholic right. Clancy probably would've really enjoyed Jo McCarthy.Time to retire Tom. This last one is cornball rubbish.
