E. Michael Jones

Sexual Liberation and Political Control

Libido Dominandi

In short: Fantastic book, poorly edited ranty writing.

I would give it five stars for the well researched content and information, but unfortunately EMJ isn't the best of writers and needs an editor badly. This book is 668 pages long and could've probably been done in 500.

It starts off with the founding of the Illuminati in the 18th century, proceeds chronologically, jumping from one event to the next, and ends with the 1990s. The chapters are not connected in any way, they just list different people in different historic circumstances and countries and how they contributed to sexual "liberation", which is nothing else than the oligarch's tool for political control (this is the book's major thesis).

Dr. Jones took the historian's (or one could even argue journalist's) approach to listing these events, structuring his magnum opus chronologically instead of thematically, which can be good or bad, depending on how one looks at it. It can be helpful, for when I want to look up something which I have read earlier about the French revolution for example, because I can easily find the chapter via the date. But if I would want to (for example) demonstrate how modern psychologists contributed to that, I'd have to flip through many different chapters, because there is not one chapter on psychologists, but one chapter on Freud, one on Jung, one on some other American and German ones, etc.

With an editor and better writing skills, this book could've been done in less pages with more cohesive chapters and argumentation and less ranty repetitiveness. Therefore I give it three stars ("liked it"), because I still liked it. The content inside is golden, therefore it trumps the lack of editing and I would still recommend everyone to read it.
