this book blew my mind when i read it in high school. he's sort of a dumbass in general (book is very hotheadedly written) but you gots to hand it to the man for defending those who are not easily defensible.

Such an important subject.

[Mary Schneider · Rating 4 out of 5]

While an old book (1968), this still contains some lasting truths and food for thought.
