    Empire of Illusion

    This is a hard-hitting book that reads easily and is full of thought-provoking observations of American culture, or, lack thereof. It took me two days to read because I liked it so much. Hedges is a breath of fresh air in a society peddling fumes and a scholar.

    I bought this book for a friend who had read the book previously and wanted to own a copy for himself. Excellent Read.
