"An energetic indictment of Uncle Sam and the anti-communist paranoia of the early 1950's. Entertaining and epic in scale with some gems of truth scattered here and there."
"Phantasmagoric tall tale starring Dick Nixon, Uncle Sam and and a 50's American Who's Who, wherein Julius and Ethel Rosenberg suffer a Times Square electric chair execution before a manical packed house. Indescribably, hysterically, mind blowingly funny."
"Any book that turns Richard Nixon into a deep, multilayered--dare I say, beautiful?--tragic hero gets my recommendation. As beautiful as it is hilarious and raunchy, which is to say it's quite beautiful. I'd give it four-and-a-half stars if I could. Read it."
