G. Gordon Liddy's wit, wisdom, and no-holds-barred approach brought legions of devoted listeners to his daily radio program, and made his autobiography, Will, a monumental best seller.

Now he brings the same inimitable style to When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country. Listeners will be alternately infuriated and amused - but always enthralled - as "The G-Man" reveals what has been wrought by liberal politicians, government bureaucrats, "enviro-radicals", "fulminating feminists", "devotees of diversity", and countless others.

Americans have surrendered their precious freedoms to these "politically correct nitwits". When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country is a fascinating story, told as only G. Gordon Liddy can tell it.

I have been a fan of the G man for a long time and listened to his radio show in the 1990's. I even had the chance to be in the same bathroom with him and his radio producer in Baltimore PSI NET stadium.

The book was good but for the most part towards the end of the book it gave information that is very dated and of no value to me because the political winds have changed so much. If I had read this book a few years earlier, I could have liked it more but it is what it is.

I did enjoy listening to the G man's stories that he told on his radio show and he gave more details about those stories in this book. Thank You G. Man! OUT!

Liddy's nostalgia filled journey through his own lifetime to an America that is no more is an interesting way to pass some time. Those looking for deep insight, greater expansion of Watergate history or other weightier topics will not be pleased. However, it is an enjoyable if somewhat light, look back aft a time that has passed us by.

Perhaps the highlight of the book is the narrator's uncanny ability to make you think that it is Liddy himself reading the story. He sounds enough like him that it only adds to the book's enjoyment.

Liddy has such a confused mixed up in his head! I agree when he says the government oversteps its boundary. There are too many regulations.
He might have heard about Geneva convention, he just doesn't know what it is about. It is not only about treatment of POW, but also about targeting civilian population, and that precisely what allied forces did in firebombing of Dresden, Leipzig, Tokyo, and nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Liddy has values mixed up in his head!
