Before the Patriot Act, there was . . . The R Document As crime and violence threaten to engulf America, the President proposes a daring new amendment to the Constitution, allowing the Bill of Rights to be suspended during times of national emergency. To its supporters the 35th Amendment is the only way to keep America from sliding into chaos. Its opponents see the Amendment as an outright attack on freedom. Christopher Collins, the newly-appointed Attorney General, has reservations about the Amendment, but feels confident that it would not be abused in the way its more hysterical opponents fear. Then a deathbed confession from his predecessor warns him to beware of something called "The R Document". What is The R Document, and what does it have to do with the proposed 35th Amendment? As state after state ratifies the Amendment, pushing it ever closer to becoming the law of the land, Collins must get to the bottom of an unimaginable conspiracy - before time runs out for the fundamental liberties of all Americans. First published in 1976, Irving Wallace's bestselling thriller is more timely than ever before.… (mere)

This novel is very much in line with the stories like "Seven days in May" only difference being [and this is applicable also to modern thrillers where antagonists are either terrorists from all over the world or standard Cold War [like] Russia] that main concern here is not external enemy but internal one - crime.

We follow acting Attorney General Christopher Collins as he slowly (and entirely by accident) comes across a conspiracy that aims at changing the way country works using raising crime rates as a pretext.

It is a scary book - not as much because of the plot but because of the possibility. People trust their elected officials for guidance and if officials abuse their power (or are intentionally misled in their actions) then people will end up in a situation where they become oppressed party. Interesting thing here is that their oppressors [who are doing what they are doing always under the pretense of helping people] are now surprised because did not that same people vote for their current state of affairs - so why are they raising their voice now, are they the rebellious element of society? Dictators rarely see themselves as despots - they see themselves as parental figures (yes there were female dictators too through history) who guide their people because these people is always viewed by dictators as children that do not know better and need their's [dictator's] guidance at all times (famous excuse).

Very good book. Unfortunately it is also as relevant today as it was in 1970's when it was initially published. ( )

El documento más importante de los Estados Unidos de América, su Constitución, grante de la estabilidad y la prosperidad de la nación más poderosa de la Historia, se encuentra ahora en peligro. Una de las más increíbles historias de intriga escritas.
