I haven't read this book, but out of curiosity I checked and it is available from Amazon for $20.27 (plus shipping). I am very skeptical that Tom Brokaw has called for the book to be banned; where did you hear this, Mike? There have been a number of falsely attributed statements circulated by the right wing (Janet Reno claiming that Christians are cult members, etc.). This sounds like more of the same.

As I mentioned the other day when you buy from Amazon, you can get them to make a donation to Foresight Institute if you start from: http://www.foresight.org/NanoRev/Bookstore.html.
