Where once Harriet Beecher Stowe in Uncle Tom's Cabin painted a painfully vivid picture of slavery in the Old South, Timothy Rand with Uncle Sam's Cabin gives us a startling inside view of the current Simon Legrees who would enslave the whole world to feed their insatiable hunger for power. As the grandson of Adolf Hitler, Rand is drawn into the quagmire of corruption that passes for the 2004 US presidential elections. Assigned a small, lucrative role as an atmosphere player in a tawdry real-life production written and directed by the shadowy puppeteers who pull the strings of power in Washington and New York, Dr. Rand soon finds himself in trouble - chin deep. Emphatically, Uncle Sam's Cabin makes a worthy 21st-century complement to Ms Beecher Stowe's stunning 19th-century bestseller. Required reading for all who may eventually have to ask themselves what brought down the mighty United States - meaning for anyone under fifty years of age. (Timothy Rand är en pseudonym)
