It's an eye opener. I read a lot of books on verbal and emotional abuse in 1999 and they focused on individual relationships. These series shed light on how masses have been manipulated for the benefit of one man. Which prompts one to think is there more brainwashing going on at a much higher level and are we all victims of it? To me, this series was like a ladder where I have climbed a few more steps towards realizing the meaning of freedom. But, not entirely yet.
