Summary: A Must Read if you value freedom
Review: This book is so important and so well written, I am buying copies of it to give to everyone I know. Vin exposes the underside of America and shows plainly how America is a defacto police state. He deals with facts not fiction and provides another side to some of the news stories we have heard in the press. Also he deals with stories that will never be heard in the "mainstream" media. Well done Vin. Molon Labe

Summary: News Director/Talk Show Host, WBIG Radio, Aurora, Illinois
Review: Vin Suprynowicz is an extraordinary writer who hits the reader right between the eyes with his flawless logic. He gets his message across and still manages to encourage a chuckle from the reader. "The Ballad of Carl Drega," and his first book, "Send In The Waco Killers," should be required reading in every high school senior classroom--public and private. Any American who says, "Something doesn't smell right," will find Vin showing the reader the source of the stench. It's up to us to clean it up.

Summary: A Boston T. Party "Must Read"
Review: Vin's daily columns are a real treat; a compilation of them from 1995-2001 is a genuine tour d'force. Sweeping, relevant, and always hard-edged, "Ballad of Carl Drega" chronicles the rise of the American Police State in terms that only government supremacists could deny. As an author and fighter for Truth, Justice, and the American Way, it is rare that I learn something new regarding our battle--but when I do, it's often from Vin. I read this book with great profit. So will you. Buy it, for time is short...

Summary: The Real NO SPIN ZONE
Review: When this book arrived from Amazon my seventeen year old son got hold of it first. Two days later he had completed the 600+ pages and I finally got my chance to read it. I'm also having a tough time putting it down, and although but halfway through it, I give it five stars! Even if you don't agree with the author's viewpoints, you have to be disturbed by his documentation of how our freedoms, or more acccurately, those we have left, are under constant attack by the state. This book is the real "no spin zone." Suprynowicz attacks the enemies of freedom with both facts and wit. May we have a moment of silence for all those endangered desert tortoises which our enlightened EPA decided to have killed. ("We had to destroy the tortoise to save it!") This book further reinforced my conviction that the Democrats and Republicans are both destroying our freedoms and the economy. The only difference between the two parties is that the Dems are in more of a hurry.

Summary: Blood Boiling!
Review: While John R. Lott puts the gun control zelots on ice with simple cold numbers, Vin uses the bureaucrats own actions as fuel to build a fire that will boil the blood of even the most jaded pragmatist. I have read Vin's articles since I first heard of him in 1995, always astounded that the people he featured in his writings could get away with their depridations at every turn. When the same material is presented in one volume, the epic scale of the corruption and evil running rampant over this "free" country is overwhelming. How can someone read these stories, easily confirmed as true by checking the local news papers, and not be moved? How can the people of New Hampshire tollerate government officials who object to the book as "Glorifying Carl Drega's acts"? In the play 1776, Ben Franklin says to John Adams, "The people have read Mr. Paine's 'Common Sense', I doubt very much Congress has." It is long past time for that same to be said of Vin Sprynowicz. Buy it, read it, and then donate it to your local school library.

Summary: A scathing examination
Review: Written by award-winning Libertarian columnist Vin Suprynowicz, The Ballad Of Carl Drega: Essays On The Freedom Movement 1994 To 2001 is a scathing examination of the constraints the America government under successive Republic and Democratic authorities have placed on individual and human freedoms, and upon those who martyred themselves to resist the tyranny of bureaucracy. Unrelenting in vehemence, unafraid of controversy, and unambiguously speaking his mind, Suprynowicz warns of oppression in America's past and paints a dark picture for the future, if the events of September 11 springboard any further eroding of civil liberties than they already have. At times graphic and colorful, drawing upon events of history as well as the modern day, The Ballad Of Carl Drega presents a message that not everyone may agree with, but that no one should ignore.
