Book excerpt: An inflammatory, politically incorrect book- humor to those who think, horror to those who feel. Guy Odom uses history to predict that social conditions such as drunk driving, education decline, illegal drug use, crime, corrupt politics, financial scams, inflation, race riots, and foreign terrorism will worsen ten times by 2013. This makes a dictator, a "man on horseback" to rein in an out-of-control nation, plausible and perhaps attractive- a historically sound proposition, but a first for America. Odom offers no suggestions to correct today's social ills. Instead, he applies his own brand of Machiavellian and Swiftian logic in writing to the future "man on horseback." He delineates the causes of America's decline, the offers America's "man on horseback" ideas to "clean up the mess" and build an American Empire. This book is sure to awaken dormant thoughts of unease brought about by the decadence and corruption narcotizing our nation and to offer a catharsis to those harmed by current conditions. Outrageous? Yes. Boring? No.
