OUTSTANDING!! I ordered a physical copy of the book, and it is even bigger and more authoritative than I expected. And yet it is so well-written that I devoured the pages as if it was a best-selling thriller. Or perhaps horror, especially after the point is reached when it becomes clear that the hysterical reaction to the relatively mild Covid-19 disease (which primarily affects the elderly or others with severely compromised immune systems), such as the lock-downs and mandatory experimental mRNA shots (which appear to have killed and injured far more people than the Covid-19 disease itself), was not (primarily) due to ineptitude but to evil.
When I got to the part of the book that mentions how the federal government invoked the defense production act to force GM to make ventilators (because allegedly they were life-saving miracles but not enough were available), I remembered how just a few weeks before on "The Resident" (which, up through that time at least, was perhaps the most honest and instructive mainstream medical drama ever) one (less experienced) person wanted to put a patient who was suffering from a severe respertory disease on a ventilator, but a more experienced doctor (yes, young and handsome for the ladies, but still!) nixed it, saying that for conditions such as his ventilators resulted in death 95% of the time! So I, a layman, knew from the beginning that ventilators were going to increase, not decrease, deaths -- but of course I, unlike the hospitals, wasn't being paid thousands of dollars by the government every time a person was put on a ventilator! (And when it finally became clear after several weeks just how much harm the ventilators were doing, the hospitals acted like they had no idea it would cause so many deaths! And they certainly didn't return the money... in fact, as the book points out, they got more money for every death! Seldom in human history [other than wars] has the incarnation of evil been clearer.)
Part of the reason I bought a physical copy (or two) is so that I could "accidentally" leave one in my nephew's room after the Christmas gathering. For even in this day-and-age there is a certain "have to pick it up and glance it at" curiosity about a physical book that simply doesn't exist for a text, PDF, or Kindle file. But I figured if I wrapped it up and gave it to him as an outright gift it wouldn't fly for two reasons: first, his parents (die-hard democrats) would probably insist I take it back, or at minimum confiscate it (and hide or destroy it) after I left. But even if they didn't, getting a book as a gift often almost seems like getting socks or underwear, and thus my nephew would likely avoid reading it as it would feel like an "assignment". But by "accidentally" leaving it behind I suspect by the time I next see him for Easter he will have read it... and perhaps even ask me if he can loan it to a friend rather than give it back to me! (If this works, I may become a regular Johnny Appleseed, leaving books and pamphlets wherever I go and seeing if, in time, the tree of liberty yields popular fruit!)
As others have also realized, I think the purpose of this book is three-fold: First, to serve as a thorough source that we can all use to become experts on the subject; Two, to give to others to learn from; and three, to remind us of how we can never just "forget and move on", for the history of the government (and all governments) proves that every time you let them get away with their horrible oppression (such as the creation of the central bank and forcing the U.S. involvement in "The Great War"), the evil is emboldened to do even worse next time. All in all, an outstanding book. Well done, Tom Woods!
