""Extraordinary.... Deranged, hyperbolic and as true a work as I have read in a very long time... Barrett Brown's looping, musical sentences are flirtations, bending reason toward satire, hovering always on the fine edge between absurdity and profundity."" --Kerry Howley, The New York Times Book Review ""A lively prison memoir from the cyber age."" --Kirkus Review (starred review) ""Brown's captivating prose mixes comic grandiloquence with Hunter S. Thompsonesque debauchery."" --Publishers Weekly ""A masterful foray into the darkest recesses of media, intel, and disinfo that somehow manages to be as hilarious as it is frightening. It's plain to see why such lengths have been taken to silence the author. Barrett Brown is our Hunter S. Thompson."" --Frankie Boyle, author of A Short History of the Apocalypse and My Shit Life So Far ""Funny, infuriating, and brilliant, My Glorious Defeats is a must-read for anybody who cares about how our country really operates, why so many Americans consider Washington and everything that comes out of it to be a 'swamp, ' and what we can do about it. You don't have to like Barrett Brown's politics (I do), but you sure have to respect his guts. He doesn't pull any punches."" --John Kiriakou, author of Doing Time Like a Spy: How the CIA Taught Me to Survive and Thrive in Prison and The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA's War on Terror
