Praise
Praise for the What Every American Should Know series
“Insightful… the sheer volume of material assures readers will turn up something they had not known or long forgotten. The knowledge she pulls together and shares proves the volume’s most useful contribution to the cause of government reform.”—Publishers Weekly
“Well-informed… without losing her playful attitude… Rossi is most skilled in keeping her guide balanced: sidebar stories on significant events, scandals and achievements add depth and definition to each profile, while the one-line summaries included in the introductions keep things pithy.”—Publishers Weekly
“The perfect book for paranoiacs, conspiracy buffs, fans of Michael Moore, and just anyone who thinks the people running the world don’t have our best interests at heart… Rossi doesn’t pull any punches… she marshals plenty of impressive source material.”—David Pitt, Booklist
