A 'Must Buy' Book

I don't care what you're doing right now -- driving a car, engaged in open-heart surgery or maybe just web browsing. Drop whatever you're doing and buy a book that was just published by Doubleday. The title says it all: The UN Gang: A Memoir of Incompetence, Corruption, Espionage, Anti-Semitism and Islamic Extremism at the UN Secretariat.

This fascinating expose, written by a UN insider, blows the UN wide open. Only disappointment (and mind you, I haven't read the whole book so maybe it is in there somewhere) is that he doesn't touch the corrupt UN-based press corps. But everything else is there: the anti-Semitism and hatred of America, rampant sexual harassment, and even drug-dealing in the UN garage!

The UN's Propaganda Ministry--also a target of this book--is going to go overboard discrediting the author, who is an ex-UN official named Pedro Sanjuan. So I strongly suggest that you go out, buy this book, and above all, spread the word!
