Summary: Liddy tells it like it is (or how it used to be)
Review: G. Gordon Liddy is one of America's historical figures that is not afraid to tell it like it is. He pulls no punches.
If you have ever wondered what is wrong with the United States today & how it used to be then you need to read this book.
It will make you mad to know how the liberals have ruined this country in the name of political correctness.
I commend this book to everyone who can read.
Liddy does a superb job in writing and is a stickler for correct grammar and English usage. Liddy speaks the truth and watch most Americans feel but are afraid to say.
Liddy also reveals the truth about Watergate & blows past theories out of the water with actual proof.
GET This book today, read it and lets take back our country and make it the great country it once was.
I just wish it had been more to read.
Thanks G-Man. We need more men like you.

Summary: Liberal elites will whine
Review: Anything that makes America's (no, make that the world's) liberal elites whine puts a wide smile on my face. This book has caused me sore facial muscles from the dozens of times I cracked wide smiles and laughed aloud at the unvarnished presentation of truth on many issues--notably, women in combat roles and the mixing (literally) of men and women on naval vessels for weeks at sea. Reading the words of a man unfettered by political correctness is most refreshing. His critics (including those on this site) delight in referring to Mr. Liddy as "convicted felon," as if he had knocked over a convenience store, or bludgeoned an elderly lady for her handbag. Read for yourself why he did hard time, and decide if you would delight in such a description for a man who traded years of his life for the preservation of his personal code of honor. I doubt that his critics have the guts to lay it all on the line for their goofball agendas.

The title should actually be: "When I was a kid, this was a free country only for RICH white people."

Summary: Making Today The Good Old Days
Review: This book is about "the good 'ol days". Probably everyone pines for the good old days at some time or other in their lives. Whether you agree or not with what he sees as the good old days, G. Gordon Liddy does a nice job of presenting his thoughts on them. I enjoyed this book. However, I would rather my students, and anyone reading this review, get hold of a book I have recently read that is not agenda-driven, is educational, and is the thread that connects history and the good old days with the here and now, today. I think if you read and internalize that book, "West Point: Character Leadership Education, A Book Developed From The Readings And Writings Of Thomas Jefferson" by Norman Thomas Remick, you will learn how to make today the good old days, and contribute to our nation's keeping today the good old days.

Summary: Liddy At His Best
Review: For the many fans of "the G Man" (including myself), alot of the issues covered in this new book will be intimately familiar and the arguments for and against them will probably not sound new, but this book serves as a tool for conservatives to remind themselves and keep their debating skills with liberals alive and well. Anyone who has been an avid listener to the G-man's popular radio talk show will also note that Gordon Liddy positively does have a "historians critical skills" in fact, history seems to be his forte, and anyone who says otherwise doesn't listen to or know the G-man at all, and they certainly haven't read any of his books. Where this new book really shines however is the final appendix: Key To Watergate. That's all I can say - no spoilers!

Summary: How ironic.
Review: Regardless of what your political views are, surely even a child can see the incredible stupidity of the title. Maybe it should be re-named "When I was a kid, this was a free country for white people"?

Summary: A Must Have For Liddy Fans
Review: I read "Will" years ago and listen to Mr. Liddy's radio show when ever it is available in Northern Calif. This book details Liddys views on the subjects that are of most concern to him: education, the environment, the Second Amendment, the military, and men and women. These are the same subjects that he discusses with his many daily callers. His opinions are based on personal experience and historical fact, presented in an informative and often funny manner. I am an admirer of Gordon Liddy and his way of thinking.
