I clicked on the review specifically because of that song.
I stayed to see what the book was actually about. It's one of those things I'm not sure if I want to actually read (like Zola's Rougon-Macquart ).
It sounds awfully dry, though. In any event it's not something I'm likely to read anytime soon. Too much German and French literature (and philosophy/political thought - I just ordered von Clausewitz, vom Krieg ).

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I'm not sure if that was sarcastic or not.
