 Might have been a better book if written by someone else, but given the nature of the text, that’s perhaps not possible. As such, it’s largely memoir with an extra dose of ego. Can’t decide what was wilder: the author being shocked and appalled that high-ranking Christian fundamentalists in the government are allowing their religion to impact their political decisions, or the part where he whines about people being mean to him for running Guantanamo Bay.
