Unfortunately Lou Dobbs should've left the reading to a professional. His monotone and run-on style of reading is disappointing. Better to read the book than listen to to this poorly-read CD.

"[Dobbs] manages to shine a powerful spotlight on many outrages."
-Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"[Dobbs is] a refreshingly bold thinker who refuses to be intellectually pigeon- holed."
