Is it a novel, or is it a non-fiction book? -- Antaeus Feldspar 14:19, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

NPOV and encyclopedic style
This seems to me like a monumentally important work of american political literature. It was suggested to me today, and I was saddened to see such a limited article on the Book. In an initial, cursory attempt to take the presented information and move it to a more encyclopedic style, I was even more distraught to find almost no referenceable review material, or analyses online or even revered in tertiary material. It's like no one acknowledged this book, except by title and in praise in passing whilst discussing other books.

I hope the original contributor of the article and others can help to improve it, finding online reviews of hte book, analyses of its content and intention, etc. The text, as written, was unfortunately quite clearly an analysis and is subject to No Original Research rules and NPOV. Referring to the author's intent directly is risky (and yes, I did it - for lack of sources), as well as praising its own analyses, rather than describing them. Hopefully a more complete picture of this book can be brought to the table, with more scholarship. Heck, I'd even take self-published essays (which are mostly a no-no on Wikipedia) over no references and some boosting in the article.

Having read two chapters of the book now thanks to Amazon, I can say I truly hope this important book is better described on Wikipedia --Christian Edward Gruber 05:01, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
