For me, being German and having grown up in the eastern part until it got swallowed up by the western part, any kind of propaganda is evil. Both the one with good and bad intentions. Let me tell you that the reunification of Germany was not a two sided deal, it very much was one sided. Don't let history books fool you.

Read the book, it's fairly inexpensive and is actually a fairly good presentation of both sides of the question. As I mentioned, the book has essays from four widely divergent views on how to interpret law. Scalia and Tribe were two of the best know legal theorists in the US at the time. Sometimes reviewers allow their personal views get in the way.
