Dr. Naomi Wolf, in her new book, “The Bodies of Others: The New Authoritarians, COVID-19 and The War Against the Human,” writes a fascinating account of her experiences, fears, and challenges during the COVID period of 2020 through the beginning of 2022.

Her main concern in the book is the erosion of American freedoms and basic human rights. She feels that extraordinary powers have been given to elitist minorities and global bodies. She talks about how American freedoms are vanishing.
