Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Former pro wrestler and Minnesota governor Ventura (Do I Stand Alone?) has been awakened out of semiretirement by his outrage over the grievous state of the country and his need to once again exercise his enormous ego by rehashing events from his life and political career. He holds forth in his typical blunt, anti-intellectual style on a range of topics including the Rolling Stones, Fidel Castro and 9/11 conspiracy theories. His diatribes are loosely linked to a travelogue as Ventura and his wife drive to Baja California in their truck-camper. Excerpts from interviews and his wife's diaries provide a welcome break from Ventura's boorish tone (although his anecdotes—particularly one involving the Dalai Lama and the film Caddyshack—are occasionally amusing). The book concludes with Ventura combining his three passions: wrestling, politics and self-adulation when he imagines running for President on a WWE ticket. Whether the reader will find that a horrifying fantasy or a hilarious one will largely determine how they feel about this book. (May)

Product Description

Jesse Ventura has had many lives—as a Navy SEAL, as a star of pro wrestling, as an actor, and as the governor of Minnesota. His previous books, I Ain't Got Time to Bleed and Do I Stand Alone?, were both national bestsellers. Don't Start the Revolution Without Me is the story of his controversial gubernatorial years and his life since deciding not to seek a second term as governor in 2002. Written with award-winning author Dick Russell at a secluded location on Mexico's Baja Peninsula, Ventura's new book reveals for the first time why he left politics—and why he is now considering reentering the arena with a possible independent run for the presidency in 2008.

In a fast-paced and often humorous narrative, Ventura pulls no punches in discussing our corrupt two-party system, the disastrous war in Iraq, and what he suspects really happened on September 11. He provides personal insights into the Clinton and Bush presidencies, and elaborates on the ways in which third parties are rendered impotent by the country's two dominant parties. He reveals the illegal role of the CIA in states like Minnesota, sensitive and up-to-date information on the Blackwater security firm, the story of the American spies who shadowed him on a trade mission to Cuba, and what Fidel Castro told him about who really assassinated President John F. Kennedy. This unique political memoir is a must-read for anyone concerned about the direction that America will take in 2008.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish it was longer, Jul 26 2009

By	Robert Leclaire (Toronto Ontario) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Don't Start the Revolution Without Me! (Paperback)

I fully enjoyed this book (as I expected to) but wish that he would have gone into greater depth with his thoughts and ideas. I however am extremely disappointed that the final chapter (which is a fictional account of him getting elected President and experiencing an assassination attempt) was COMPLETELY MISSING! In fact the last eleven pages were completely blank!
Has America become so much of a police state that it's citizens aren't even allowed to write fiction about political assassination?

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read., Jul 9 2008

By	Moe Sasseville "Moester" (Montreal, QC, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I must say that I loved reading this book. The first 2/3 of the book read like you're overhearing a conversation between Jesse and his wife. They spend most of the book remeniscing and going through their lives dropping views and genuine wisdom at regular intervals.

The last 1/3 of the book is much more in depth as far as politics and become much more of an endictment of the system and the people currently running it. Its almost too bad that Jesse doesn't get into this part more; as a matter of fact its a shame that the book is as short as it is. Many of Jesse's ideas and thought provoking statements are sent out rapid-fire and sometimes come out as quotes rather than fully formed ideas. I would have loved to hear him go in depth and lay out his thought patterns a bit more.

I guess its a successful novel that leaves you wanting more. Especially when its comes to a political book that is meant to outline the entirety of a person's political views and career. I can't say I agree with everything that is written; but I think that the most important thing in the book is that everything there whether you agree with it or not is there to make people think. And that's healthy, and in a way its a lot of fun.

A great read, not to be missed for any interested in contemporary American politics.
