My grandchildren need to read this book so they will understand why Socialism is not the way to go. They will get that chance as I buy my own copy to pass on to them. I do not believe that they probably don't know much of what they will read due to the fact that history isn't really taught now like it was in our day.(In the 1960's) What I got out of the book was the fact that "nothing lasts forever" and they need to realize what there was and god forbid, what might come again if Socialism enters our way of life. A promise of everything for everybody for free is a myth. It would be a travesty to sadly revert from Capitalism and free enterprise and destroy this great country. Hopefully there are enough smart people to teach our offspring not to take things for granted. Good read. Thank you Charles Cole.
