The book reads like an extended lament by a liberal Christian thinker who is bemoaning at length the fact that religious opposition to Bush Administration policies has been "largely ignored." In a mere 112 pages, Long's essay provides an extensive argument illustrating why this remains the case. The book ultimately finds a spirit generous enough to blame the United States, not Al Qaeda's continuing campaign of terrorism, for the deterioration of the human condition since September 2001. . . . Long strains to convince us that it is the war policy of the U.S. that brings closer the day that nuclear, or biological, attack on an American city will occur. This pose is sure to convince those who already believe in Long's assumptions, and few others.
