Patrick Henry revisited!

I've read "End of America" and "Give Me Liberty." Naomi Wolf never disappoints my intellectual curiosity. She is a daring, passionate writer who defends the very foundation of "freedom of speech", especially at a time where rights are being hacked away for political benefit. Those who are avid readers or even remotely observant, already know the concern. To remind everyone, she duplicates the Declaration of Independence, the single most important historical document ever created, in my opinion, and establishes thought about what it really means, something a majority of people take for granted. She creates a much needed urgency for the public to change their mentality of how they think of those rights. She also calls for the protection of what it truly means to be an American. I absolutely enjoyed this book.

A must-read this election season!

Naomi Wolf's latest book is timely and informative. In an election season when many voters complain of media-induced fatigue, Wolf offers an inspiring book that will motivate readers to get engaged - civically.

Mandatory Reading for Every American Citizen!!

I read Give Me Liberty cover to cover in one sitting. It's scary. We should all be very concerned about the increasing loss of American liberties Naomi Wolf so eloquently writes about. Raising awareness is the first step and Wolf did this beautifully in the best-selling The End of America. What makes Give Me Liberty different and even more powerful is that while it reminds Americans that we are in a precarious political moment, it also reminds us that all of us - you, me, the next door neighbor, our teachers, our students, our mothers and fathers - the everyday citizens going about our lives are powerful and influential agents that can, and should take action. Wolf writes, "history shows that when an army of citizens, supported by even a vestige of civil society, believes in liberty -- in the psychological space that is "America" -- no power on earth can ultimately suppress them." What I loved best about Give Me Liberty is that it shook me out of my apathy and motivated me to believe again not only in the psychological space that is America, but in the idea that I could actually do something to protect my own freedom and the freedom of the people I love. Wolf's book is timely. It is engaging. It is passionate and it is mandatory reading for every citizen who cares about America and considers themselves a patriot. We need to reestablish our civil society based in liberty immediately and Wolf clearly shows us, step by step, how to do this. This book - this call to arms - should be a staple in our schools and required reading for every American citizen.

A must read for anyone who cares about America

Naomi Wolf does it again! Instead of sitting and getting frustrated while you watch the non stop 24 hour "news" reports read "Give me liberty" - Wolf not only explains so many of the issues that threaten our democracy she outlines what we as ordinary citizens can do to make it right again. A must read for anyone that truly wants to reclaim American values!

Its about time ...

It is about time that the subject of liberty, justice, and the silenced American Rebel was brought to public consciousness and discussion in this way. Many Americans are longing for a restored understanding of what true democracy looks like and means, and in this book, Wolf persuasively shows what can happen when normal people, ordinary citizens like you and I, truly engage in the democratic process as originally intended, and how we can use the system in every aspect of our lives and politics. I highly recommend this book for a clear, well thought out, intelligent approach to key issues facing our government and governance today.
