"If officials in Washington would read just one book, this is it. It should scare us into action."--Fareed Zakaria, author of The Future of Freedom

"America the Vulnerable will grip you, intrigue you, frighten you and inspire you. Flynn is a genuine expert."--Norman Ornstein, resident scholar, American Enterprise Institute
