From the author of the Buddhist discovery novel, Myth Shattering we now present his long awaited trilogy, The Selected Writings From Soka University of America. In this first volume, “Speaking Truth to Power” Timothy Harada dissects every aspect of US culture, life and US foreign and domestic policy, from mass imprisonment of minorities, the corporatization of the media and politics, the destruction of one of the largest industries in the US during the 1930s (hemp), to the training of Latin American death squads in the US, the selling of crack cocaine by the US government in the US and the housing of terrorist training camps by the US government in the US. As any true patriot would, Timothy questions in the Socratic way every action of his own government and his own citizens in hopes of transforming the current nefarious dealings of the US government and people and making his country and the world a better place for all conscious and concerned human beings.

"Terrible"
Save your money. This is just about one of the worst books ever. I agree with the post above. It definitely is self-masturbation. I would suggest the following things to make it better:
* Edit - for grammar, spelling, and general stylistic errors.
* Be clear and concise - readers loose interest when authors ramble about themselves. Of course, if it were somebody really famous then they get away with it. But that's a different case because people are actually interested in them.
* Cover Design - although the style used in the book is decent, the cover is horrible. I checked out the author's other book "Myth Shattering" and that cover is horrible too. That being... More >

"An easy read, and it's charming"
I'll begin with a little disclosure. I've known Timothy Harada for a few years. I met him when I took the opportunity to go to a peace march in San Francisco with a group from Soka University. I bought and read this book because I know Timothy and appreciate his positive outlook, motivation, and actions in life.

If you want to read and critique something for it's technical, grammatical, organizational, and other anal qualities - find something else to read. Now I'll put on my objectivity hat and tell you my impression, and what... More >

"Thank you for the suggestion. "
I decided to go back to the original cover design, which didn't have any Microsoft fonts.
"This is the best in the series. "
Though I like all of the 3 volumes in the series, this one is one I had to read a couple of times. Very eye opening!
