Editorial Review:In A NATION OF SHEEP, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano frankly discusses how the federal government has circumvented the Constitution and is systematically dismantling the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of American democracy. He challenges Americans to recognize that they are being led down a very dangerous path and that the cost of following without challenge is the loss of the basic freedoms that facilitate our pursuit of happiness and that define us as a nation.Judge Napolitano reminds readers what America is all about, that the purpose of government is to protect freedom, and freedom is the ability to follow your own free will and not the will of government bureaucrats. He asks the simple question, which are YOU, a sheep or a wolf? Do you blindly follow behind where you are led, or do you challenge the government at every pass, forcing it to make decisions that will protect our freedoms?
Judge Napolitano asks the questions that no one else will, challenging readers to rethink why they are blindly following a government that has only its own interests in mind. He asks:
- Why is the government using the war on terror as an excuse to sidestep the Constitution?
- Why are Americans not challenging and questioning the government as it continues to limit more and more of our freedoms?
- What part of "Congress shall make no law..." does the government not understand when it criminalizes speech?
- Whatever happened to our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, guaranteed by the Constitution, yet ignored by the governments elected to protect them?
- Why does every public office holder swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet very few follow it?
- Don't we have rights that are guaranteed and cannot be taken from us?

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - An excellent book on a very serious subject
I've often felt as if I were among the few Napolitano calls wolves: Americans that dare to scream, holler and shout when government violates our Constitution. But even knowing of the vast Constitutional abuses I have been witness to in my lifetime, I never realized how widespread (and indeed, how old) some of the most egregious violations of our Constitution are.
This book is a must read for all Americans. The American government is ours, and we must awaken to its behavior before we ... Read More
Rating: - An absolute must read
The two books I recommend the most are "A Nation of Sheep" and Ron Paul's "Revolution: A Manifesto"
Rating: - Improving History's Accuracy
Judge Napolitano hits another eye-opening winner for anyone who wants to continually fine-tune their insight into the U.S. Constitution and our history. Just as he did in his book The Constitution in Exile: How the Federal Government Has Seized Power by Rewriting the Supreme Law of the Land he minces no words when it comes to the abuses we face today. This is a really strong read and when you combine it with the new book The Revolution: A Manifesto you'll have a really strong foundation for discussing ... Read More
Rating:  - The shepherd misleads
I was prepared to love this book, since I was already familiar with his writing, so I was greatly disappointed with the finished product.
First off, I think the sheep/wolf analogy is misused. To me, the obvious wolves are the individuals in government intentionally harming our republic for their own personal gain or power. Not, as the author thinks, just those sheep who find within themselves the courage to demand their rights and freedoms.
Secondly, the people he so blithely ... Read More
Rating: - Orwell was wrong... With the date
Does the federal government really follow it's own laws? Can the federal government really disobey the constitution in hopes of preserving the union's security? No, claims Judge Andrew Napolitano in his latest work A Nation Of Sheep. Napolitano asserts that the citizen's of the United States have been acting like sheep for quite some time now. All in the name of security, the people of the United States have been passive as the government strips them of their rights guaranteed to them in their own constitution. ... Read More
