American Psychosis

Inevitably partisan and narrow but still delivered a strong case backed up by tightly packed facts. Depressing but not as depressing as it could have been, mostly due to the author's tone (not the content).

The best part of this book imo was the imparting of a general impression of each President going back to around Eisenhower. It went through certain events in each presidency and explained how they affected public perception and especially the far right's perception of America and its politics. It also documents the connections of each Republican president to far right groups, which every one of them had.

For this book to get 5 stars, it would have had to have been 3 times as long. For most people, then, I think it's just right.
