Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I began to follow the meteoric career of Dr Ben Carson for decades after reading an article about him in Readers Digest many years ago. Dr. Carson was the first surgeon to operate successfully on conjoined twins at the head in 1987. He has since retired from the field of Pediatric neurosurgery, where he has achieved so much -- researching, teaching, operating, and in alleviating the pain and suffering of his young patients. Nevertheless, he has continued to contribute and excel as a Best Selling author of five other books and writing pieces for the Washington Times, GOPUSA, and Fox News. He is also a fervid spokesman of family traditional values and an American patriot concerned with the problems of affecting this nation, politically, economically, morally. In February of 2013, he gave a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. With President Obama nearby, Dr. Carson criticized the direction the country has taken, indirectly criticizing the President's domestic policies. With this book he hones in in his observations and follows through exposing the ills afflicting American society, deteriorating moral values, political correctness, and the government attempts to take over the health care system. As a result, Dr. Ben Carson was singled out for IRS auditing (harassment) by the Obama administration last fall. He came out clean! Dr. Carson had criticized ObamaCare in October of 2013, while speaking in Washington, D.C., stating that ObamaCare "was about control," and went on to quote the Russian communist founder of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Lenin, who admitted, "Socialized medicine is the keystone to the establishment of a socialist state." For Dr. Carson this passionate, informative and excellent book was necessary: "the future of my grandchildren is in jeopardy because of reckless spending, godless government, and mean-spirited attempts to silence critics left me no choice but to write this book." I agree. And he has done a great job putting his thoughts and ideas into words that every American can read and understand. In this latest book, "One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future," (2014), co-authored with his wife, Candy -- Dr. Carson makes novel but common sense proposals to get us out of the morass in which we are mired. It does not matter whether one is a Democrat or Republican; we are all Americans and must get together to solve our problems and preserve our American Republic! His book is written well with passion, conviction, and statesmanship. Let me state for the record that I have known of Dr. Carson's great surgical achievements as they developed, but have never had the pleasure of meeting him. Hopefully, one day I will. In the meantime get to know him and his plans to save America by getting his book and reading it! Dr. Miguel Faria is a retired neurosurgeon and an Associate Editor in Chief and World Affairs Editor of Surgical Neurology International (SNI). He is the author of Vandals at the Gates of Medicine (1995), Medical Warrior (1997), Cuba in Revolution -- Escape From a Lost Paradise (2002), and numerous articles on political history, including "Stalin's Mysterious Death" (2011). He has also written a 3-part article: "Violence, mental illness, and the brain -- A brief history of psychosurgery" (2013), etc., all posted at his website haciendapublishingdotcom & drmiguelfariadotcom
