I dabbled in John Rachel's Political Alison in Wonderland that is "Blinders Keepers" when it was available at a reduced price not expecting to become so drawn in by the political views conveyed within. But as the protagonist stumbled along his adventure he was surrounded by the bull-headed, insecure right and the naively romantic left.
So when "An Unlikely Truth" came out I felt compelled to give it the same attention, and I was not left disappointed.
I won't lie, the peril of the story left me a little wanting, but this was made up for with vision and political insight. With previous works John Rachel has tapped the political and social world on the shoulder and now - not wanting to be ignored - he is swinging a sledge hammer.
This book tells the story of what happens when the ideals of the left mix with the spine of the right and what we get is a solution to the current problems surrounding corruption and deprecated society that seem so painfully obvious as to feel like a slap in the face. Within these pages is the story of a struggle that is very real to point out that things that only work "in an ideal world" have to be adopted to achieve an ideal world. Here the reader is given a template and a banner to start asking the question of those in charge "yeah! why aren't we doing this!?"
Primarily a Political solution with a narrative I was sucked into the various debates and rallies with the right-wing political slime-balls whom spewed the same deflecting BS that we are so used to hearing in the real world.
A must read for those who can't escape the fact that something is very wrong about the world at the moment.
