About the 2004-2005
Book
(Volume 2 of the 5 Volume Series)
Volume 2 of The Dark
Side of the Moon moves from Howard Dean’s ‘excellent chance of becoming the
next president of the United States’ to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the
evisceration of Medicaid and the exposure of the Jack Abramoff scandal.
But what else was going on while Howard Dean opened the door
and stood aside for John Kerry? All the frantic rhetoric of a presidential
election year played out against two wars not going all that well,
super-charged profits driven by rocket-fueled debt and the beginnings, the
first itchiness around the American collar that all was not well deep down in
the state of the union. What was on
the national mind as Hurricane Katrina formed in the Gulf?
Volume 2 of The Dark
Side of the Moon frames the state of national disconnection, observing
America within the context of those events.

| A Time Machine,
This review is from: The Dark Side of the Moon 2004-2005: Observing America (Volume 2) (Paperback)
Jim Freeman runs and operates a time machine. When I step inside this
book, I feel like I'm instantly transported to a specific moment in
recent American history, tethered to the past but cut off from the
objective hindsight of future experience. Freeman's words are astute,
wide-ranging and conversational, like sitting down with your favorite
political pundit for a cold beer, spicy nacho chips and salty repartee.
His contextualization of the past is both historical, thoughtful and
personal.
