Can Obama Face the 'Unspeakable'?

If there’s one book I wish President Obama would read over the holidays, it is JFK and the Unspeakable.
Obama, like President John F. Kennedy, has had his first encounters with the permanent warfare establishment, and so far, has been persuaded by their arguments. This book could open his eyes – and ours – to the possibility of another path. Full Story »

Pease is an expert on Kennedy, and makes the highest recommendation for this book by Douglass.

I completed reading this book, and thoroughly agree with Pease's assessment. The book is factual, detailed, and compelling in both history and morality of civilization. Some of the spirituality notes may put some readers off, but the research is impecable.
