My Review of "While America Sleeps" by Russ Feingold

This is a great look at the inside world of the Senate during the post 9/11 years. Considering Feingold's political leanings, I thought he was fair in his criticism of the Bush administration. If you want to get a better grasp on American foreign policy through the eyes of a Senator, this is a great read. Feingold understands that our global security threats transcend the nation state, and can no longer be dealt with in a purely territorial fashion. You get the sense that he has great respect for his constituents in Wisconsin and was able to balance their hot button issues with global issues on the national level. It's a shame he lost to a man that thinks global warming is a bunch of hog wash and is up for drilling "responsibly" in the Great Lakes.
