Share This Review

Red Wave Imperative is a book of about 233 pages and 17 chapters. The writer, Alan Schein, analyzed politics in America. He wrote mostly about Democrats and Republicans, and the systems they are advocating for while largely defending one, and criticizing the other. One of the systems the writer criticized is Socialism. He criticized it while citing various countries who adopted it and who have failed. He also listed countries that are moving away from this system due to its proven impracticability in the modern world.

The writer claimed that there are existing misconceptions surrounding some systems in America, such as Immigration. He is of the view that these misconceptions are due to propaganda peddled by members and supporters of a particular political party; he made efforts to disabuse them.

A large part of the book is sufficiently engaging, and this is commendable, considering the nature of the book. I found the arguments of the writer to be persuasive because the writer gave facts, figures, and case studies to support his claims. The writer also used stories to back up his assertions, and I found some of them funny and a few, sad. The book is a well-researched one, and that is what I loved most about it.

As I had hoped, I acquired a whole lot of knowledge from this book, which includes, but not limited to, the nature of politics in America, the attitude of a percentage of Americans regarding politics, politics in other countries like Singapore and Venezuela, and the standard of living in these countries. Alan Schein is of the view that the standard of living in these countries is as a result of the kind of political decisions the citizens and government officials made.

After I had read a large part of the book, it occurred to me that the writer focused more on criticizing a particular political party. The writer was apparently one-sided and biased. For this reason, I feel it is justifiable to remove a whopping one star from what I had planned to rate this book. Therefore, I give this book a rating of three out of four stars. Also, the aforementioned is what I disliked about the book.

The choice of words of the writer is simple and easy to read. I discovered a few profane words, and as should be unexpected in books like this, I came across no erotic content in it. This book is a professionally edited one as I discovered absolutely no form of error in it. This book, Red Wave Imperative, will appeal to political enthusiasts and people who are interested in American politics, and as such, I recommend it to them.

This sounds interesting and one that I would like to read soon. I am not in support of the dismissal of socialism, though. I guess there are success stories as well. Thanks for the review.

Hahaha... I would have been bewildered if this book contained eroticism. Anyway, I agree with the author: the immigration laws are being villainized by the media. Great review you have here.

I prefer not to read books that criticizes one political party, so it feels biased. I just finished one like that myself. Thanks for an interesting and informative review!
