Summary
"[This book] paints a chilling portrait of a nation in the final stages of transformation into outright authoritarianism, whose citizens have become little more than a nation of suspects to be cowed, corralled, and controlled.... Whitehead helps readers navigate this treacherous terrain and provides them with a blueprint for hopefully finding their way back to freedom."--Jacket
