I guess the publisher must feel it's suddenly relevant again, eh?

I haven't read it, but now I'm curious. Have any of you read it?

I think I read this book a long time ago, like in the late 1960s. Seven Days In May was a really good movie made from his book.

Yes, "Seven Days In May" is from a Knebel book by the same name. Maybe a bit of the same idea, of someone with power going nuts?

Did Obama have Trump's level of turnover in his administration?

Did Obama have an infamous tape that was rumored to be disgraceful and blackmail-worthy?

Did Obama have a raft of people indicted?

Did Obama have a major news organization toting up his lies? (Trump's list of lies is over 7000.)

Did Obama have hookers and porn stars step up to announce that he'd consorted with them?

Did Obama direct hush-money to silence any hookers or porn stars?

That's just a sampling of what normal people consider to be some of the Trump scandals which were, thankfully, absent from the Obama administration.

Not to be a pedantic jerk, but actually post #3 was and Obama shot.

"What would happen if the president of the U.S.A. went stark-raving mad?"

That kind of president would distract his followers with shiny objects, do everything he could to destroy protections for the vulnerable, allow businesses to pollute, make it easier for banks to cheat their customers, give himself and his cronies huge unwarranted tax breaks, surround himself with criminals ... oh, wait ...

If I may, I believe that poster's comment is referencing how some others were outwardly never accepting of our previous president due to his race, not that this is the poster's view.
