            Michael Moore has a talent for bringing modern issues concerning politics and society at large to the forefront. This talent is obviously apparent in Downsize This! Random Threats from an Unarmed American.
             Bringing serious issues that concern everyone American, and more as evidenced by his incredible international popularity, Michael Moore makes you laugh and cry. Downsize This! is the perfect book for the millions of Americans working longer hours for less pay, who are fed up with the state of the world today and are looking for the specifics as to why they feel that way and what they can do about it.
             Michael Moore's qualifications to author a book such as this are extensive. It's plain and simple. Some may know him better as the maker of Roger and Me, a documentary focusing on the plight of his hometown of Flint, Michigan. He has also produced the TV series' TV Nation and The Awful Truth. His other documentaries are: Pets or Meat: Return to Flint, Canadian Bacon and The Big One. His documentary, Bowling for Columbine, recently won an oscar. His work is provocative, not only because he lays the facts out simply, but he adds a tenacious wit and humor that you can't ignore.
             His book, Stupid White Men.and other sorry excuses for the state of the nation, was the #1 Top Selling Book of 2002 and ran on the New York Times Bestseller list for over a year. His work has such appeal that Stupid White Men has been translated into 24 languages and is a #1 Bestseller in Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Australia, Japan, Ireland, and New Zealand.
             Michael Moore just your average American who has been unhappy about the state of our nation and is brave enough to stand up and voice his opinions, which are obviously shared by millions.
             In Downsize This! Moore explores corporate America and the state of our economy, jobs and life as of 1996. This book was written to make people think about why things are the way they are in this country.
