Treason in America

"The Power of Reason: 1988" is the autobiography of the man who is arguably the most controversial intriguing brilliant and extraordinary American and world citizen alive today. As LaRouche himself notes: "Since the beginning of the 1984 Presidential campaign I have been at the center of some among the leading crisis-developments affecting current history including the Soviet and liberal establishment efforts to destroy the Strategic Defense Initiative." This book was written in fact when LaRouche was known most prominently around the world as the author of what President Ronald Reagan called the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). It was LaRouches role in convincing the Reagan administration to adopt his plan that was largely responsible for earning him the hatred of the Anglo-American establishment including the incoming Bush administration that led to his unjust indictment and imprisonment which followed.
