A chillingly calm first person account of Armageddon, from the point of view of a low-level military functionary. This account should make you think, and should terrify you.

"Liberty: God's Gift to Humanity is a defense of liberalism, the political philosophy which holds that governments should be established for the protection of individual liberty. Since the seventeenth century the bond between liberalism and religion has been strong. Where and when that bond has been severed, liberalism has withered and religion has become tyrannical. Although libertarians, free market economists, and the Christian right often disagree about the nature of man and the nature of the universe, this work provides a philosophically and historically coherent account of their shared commitment to limited government and individual liberty."--Jacket.
