Synopsis

Wayne Frye has written another blistering expose on American hypocrisy. In this 2nd edition of the book, he parades out a group of individuals who have suffered mightily at the hands of American leaders who want to stifle all dissent in their obsession to program the compliant American populace to do the bidding of those who would enslave all of humanity to corporate dominated capitalism, patriotic servitude and religious bigotry. This is a gripping tale of woe that reads like a novel and will keep you on the edge of your seat. How America strives to suppress dissent and control people makes you realize that we must all be eternally vigilant to make sure the social democracies of the world do not slip into the same American pattern of oppression and manipulation that puts, not only freedom of speech at peril, but will make all of us slaves to the corporate bottom line that is the real power in America, which fuels its war machine and poverty gulag.

À propos de l'auteur

Wayne Frye is from the small town of Asheboro, North Carolina, where he grew up in the 1950’s and 60’s. Although a product of a society that was insular and resisted social change, through the influence of his liberal minded grandmother, he developed a social consciousness that made him acutely aware of the oppressive nature of a segregated society. Leaving that society to serve in the military during the Vietnam War, and to attend several universities, he received his Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees from institutions that were at the vanguard of the 1960’s and 1970’s movement toward social justice. His first book in 1971, The Loss of the American Dream, was written while he was the youngest professor at Hunter College (City University of New York). It was particularly popular among activist students in New York and New Jersey. While a professor at Rowan State University, in 1976, he wrote the screenplay and directed Simba, an experimental film that became a popular cult classic on college campuses and cable access channels. He spent many years as a college professor and administrator, concentrating on writing textbooks. He was president of universities in Louisiana and Utah. He has been a television producer and director, specializing in educational and distance learning programming. He has also been a restaurateur, a marketing consultant and university hockey coach. In 2003, after spending many years directing an intensive academic support program for ghetto children in South-central Los Angeles, he immigrated to an idyllic Canadian island (Vancouver Island) in search of what he calls a more equalitarian, just and compassionate society. Since 2005, his Aaron Adams novels have been a favourite of Canadian mystery readers. He and his wife, Jasmine, who also, on occasion, writes with him, live in the small seaside community of Ladysmith, British Columbia.
