I can't call this a book review because I didn't finish it. But, I didn't finish it for a vastly different reason. It's not that I didn't like the book. It's not that I didn't think it was a worth-while read. I liked what I read and it was very worth-while.
The problem was simple: I found it too depressing to continue with it.
The Marketing of Evil is the story of how a segment of society that didn't like traditional values set out to change those values through the use of marketing tactics.
It's the story of how those tactics have worked, leading to a surge in anit-American sentiment becoming common among Americans, the destruction of marriage and family, the destruction of our school system, and a death culture that now refuses to acknowledge a fetus as a baby.
The author, David Kupelian, is the managing editor of WorldNetDaily, one of the largest independent news web sites. He is also a Christian. He has a viewpoint and doesn't think he should apologize for it.
I didn't finish this book because, as I said, it is too depressing for me to do so at the moment. That doesn't mean I won't finish it one day. Nor does it mean it isn't going back on my shelf. I will and it will.

I've heard of World Net Daily before, on some program on the radio. Goodness, that kind of thing is always depressing, especially as I don't see what can be done.
Melanie -
I'm a regular to World Net Daily through various links and sites. They're sort of like Fox News in that they get the news out there that the other major media ignores.
And, unfortunately, a lot of the damage can't be changed. It's become too ingrained but, in my opinion, that doesn't make it right.
I do know, however, that things have a way of self-correcting so we'll see.
