The premise is interesting. The book is well-researched. The parallels drawn are intriguing.Cahn had the opportunit to create a truly compelling story that could motivate people, a nation to action. Instead he preached to his readers, telling them the same things over and over as if they were incapable of learning or remembering anything. A good editor could have helped. The book does provide interesting discussion points, if you can get past the lecture and the redundancy.
