This little book was
my introduction to the Instaread series.
Since I have not yet read America:
Imagine a World Without Her by Dinesh D’Souza, this summary was a good way
to find out if that book is different enough from D’Souza’s other books (which
I have read) to justify my time and cash.
I was not disappointed. Instaread first gave a broad overview of the
book, which is an account of the two different viewpoints in American politics
and culture today. On one side are the
progressives (also recognized by D’Souza as anti-colonialists) and on the other
are the conservatives/constitutionalists.
Very brief accounts of key people are also included in the introductory
matter, in case the book is read by a political or historical novice. Notable is the summary of Saul Alinsky’s 4-point
Lucifer strategy: polarize, demonize, organize, and deceive. D’Souza appears to have nailed the
progressive plan.
The body of the book
consists of chapter summaries. I can
tell from these summaries that the book includes detailed discussions of the
value conflicts between conservatives and progressives, including economic
freedom v. sexual/social freedom and entrepreneurship/capitalism v.
tolerance/entitlement. The chapters
cover reparations, foreign policy, bureaucracy, domestic spying, and many other
issues relevant to concerned Americans today.
Reading this “30-Minute
Instaread Summary” has made me more enthusiastic about making time to read the
entire book by Dinesh D’Souza. I also
will seek out more Instaread e-books as a supplement to reading reviews on book
websites.
I received my copy of America by Dinesh D'Souza - A 30-minuteInstaread Summary free for my review.
