The book is readily available from Amazon.com, and 145 of their
customers have written reviews of it. We'll have to check how many of
them are in jail in Guantanamo ;-) One reviewer recommended a
companion book - "Home Workshop Explosives", also available from
Amazon.

Also available on DVD.

I see a lot of second-hand opinions on the Patriot Act. Hardly any of
them have actually read it.
