Unbelievably bad. The author is suffering from terminal paranoia. He believes that the media suffered irreparable damage during the Gulf War because they didn't have access to all the information they wanted from the military. It doesn't occur to him that the media, with their blatant liberal slant, can't be trusted to handle information and report it responsibly. This is the same who thinks that Ted Turner is "courageous" - the same bigoted Ted Turner who's been nailed time and again for hypocrisy. Lastly, MacArthur has virtually no technical academic or professioanl credentials to make many of the satements he does regarding military technology. His assessment of weapons such as those used in the Gulf War is pathetically inept. Don't waste your money. You can become better informed by reading a Tom Clancy novel.
