ONE IN A MILLION: AN IRS TRAVESTY
An important, must-read political novel review:
ONE IN A MILLION (REVUE)
by Michael Collins Piper
Although Pat Shannan is best known as an investigative journalist who deals in facts, what many of Pat’s readers don’t know is that he is also the author of a fascinating, fast-moving novel that tackles one of the most controversial subjects in the American political arena today: the corrupt and unconstitutional U.S. tax system and the ugly collection agency for the banker-controlled Federal Reserve System known as the Internal Revenue Service, an out-of-control police state agency that has terrorized Americans for generations.
Entitled One in a Million, the book is 270 pages of hard-hitting and well-written drama, telling the harrowing story of a successful American businessman and devoted family man who found his life turned upside down by corrupt IRS insiders after he dared to delve—like other patriots—into researching the history of our tax system and its insidious origins.
Although the book is a novel, it is founded on truth, in more ways than one. Without ever once interfering with his course of telling a slam-bang story, Pat effectively weaves into the narrative factual data about the IRS and the Federal Reserve conspiracy and other little-known aspects of American and world history. Pat’s inspiration for the book was a real-life case of IRS treachery that led to the suicide of a good and decent American woman, Chavala Warman, in whose memory the book is dedicated.
However, be warned: this is not a book for those who like to think that “our” government is good and that the IRS is just another government agency that’s trying to keep our system running. One in a Million describes how a gutsy group of Americans from all walks of life—a colorful collection of hard-driving patriots—decided that it was time to turn the tables on the IRS and give it a dose of its own medicine.
The IRS will not like people reading this book, because it might give them ideas of which the IRS might not approve. But if the IRS had not assembled such an ugly record, then people would not be inclined to think nasty things about the IRS thugs who make a living seizing people’s homes and automobiles and furniture and family heirlooms—this while David Rockefeller gets a tax break for being a “farmer.”
And in Pat’s book, rest assured, more than a few IRS “seizure specialists” lose a lot—including one who literally loses his head. You’ll find yourself alternately amused and horrified as you read this book, and you might even find yourself cheering out loud as the patriots give it to the IRS thugs and give it to them good. Pat’s writing style is fluid and the book moves swiftly as Shannan recounts the clever and methodical planning and measures undertaken by the patriots as they move against the IRS schemers they’ve targeted for special treatment.
The book is a dynamic combination of the best of Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo and Rocky, Charles Bronson’s Death Wish, Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry and Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence all rolled up into one. You will love it.
As good a novelist as any of those big-name authors who crank out best-sellers by the dozens, Shannan has contributed a real winner in the realm of political literature that would serve as a hallmark work, even if he never writes another word in his lifetime. You’ll enjoy this book. That’s a guarantee—and particularly if you don’t like paying taxes.
We won’t ruin the fun by telling you where or how Pat came up with the title. That’s something you’ll have to find out for yourself. And that alone is worth the price of the book.
