About the Book
"Please forgive my taking so long to respond to the manuscript you sent me. That is, THE UNAUTHORIZED WORLD SITUATION REPORT. You are a very brave soul to take on the liars and the manipulators as you have. I would even go so far as to say that you have written yourself into a dangerous situation. There are too many of the entrenched who would be more than infuriated that you have blown the cover from their game.... Your fight against the inbred stupidity of the history of this century is a noble and a lonely one. I marvel at how you persist against the odds. I believe that your views are on the mark.... All those of us who are aware can do is to protect our own minds against this onslaught which has erased the sensibilities of almost all humans.”—Charles Bukowski

"Your book is fantastic. I reserve the right to plagiarize it at will. Especially the parts about the origins of World War II.”—Taki Theodoracopulos

“Very good & very fine.” —William Pfaff, the “dean of American columnists and commentators” on diplomacy.

“I find your Unauthorized World Situation Report immensely interesting….P.S. I do not wish you to read this letter suggesting that I agree with what you have said.”—Professor Stephen Graubard, former Editor of Daedalus, the journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The Unauthorized World Situation Report is a distillation. The subject matter is world affairs and American history, focusing upon the Twentieth Century and its immediate aftermath. In the tradition of the American revolutionary war pamphleteers, to wit, an extended broadside in plain language, with a point of view and humor. This reappraisal is at odds with the received version of events. It suggests that Washington's current difficulties in foreign affairs is the logical culmination of an attitude which came to the forefront in 1898, the year of the Spanish-American War. It is this gratuitous war and Washington's subsequent collaboration with London, resulting in two world wars, that are the foundations of the present era. In particular, the train wreck in the Greater Middle East and the atrocity of 9/11 itself can be traced to America's ill-advised foreign policy over many years, presided over by both political parties. The Unauthorized World Situation Report does not offer solutions. It provides insight and perspective for those with an open mind.
