Book Cover & Preview Text
It’s way past the time we should have quit struggling with our Twentieth Century drug and gun problems, and relegated them to the pages of History where they belong!
Our politicians have wasted more than half a century trying to enforce their totally unenforceable drug policy, with nothing to show for their efforts but abject failure. Their war on drugs clearly is un-winnable, as evidenced by the steadily increasing drug related vicious criminal violence on our streets, and the hopelessly overcrowded conditions throughout our prison system from incarcerating all those who violate the government’s failed federal drug policy. It’s time for the American people to insist that our politicians stop destroying our society and wasting our hard-earned tax dollars chasing after their unattainable drug free society pipedream, and embark upon a more reasoned approach.
It’s also time to reign in the horrendous gun violence in our society by establishing and rigorously enforcing sensible gun control measures. During the last fifteen years of the Twentieth Century alone, more of our citizens were killed by gun violence right here on the streets of America than our Armed Forces suffered in all the wars our nation fought throughout the entire Twentieth Century! That sounds incredible, but unfortunately, it’s a cold, hard fact; and common sense screams out to responsible Americans to put an end to this madness!

About the Book
Uncle Sam Needs Chemo is a long overdue assessment of the horrendous perils our nation is facing today. It describes the political misfeasance that stimulates the drug related vicious criminal violence that's been destroying the quality of life throughout our society since the mid 1950's, and the horrendously overcrowded conditions that have existed throughout our penal system since the mid 1960's from incarcerating hordes and hordes of our citizens for succumbing to the very temptations the politicians themselves have fostered with their failed federal drug policy.
That very same political misfeasance is responsible for the out of control gun violence that's taken more lives right here on the streets of America during just the last fifteen years of the Twentieth Century than all our Armed Forces suffered in all the wars our nation fought throughout the entire Twentieth Century!
Because of this political misfeasance, ever since the mid 1960's our nation has had the highest percentage of total population locked away in prison of any civilized nation on the entire face of the earth. And, that very same political misfeasance has taken prayer out of our schools and revoked the disciplinary rights of parents, teachers, and all the other local authority figures that used to control the emotional stability of our children until their psyches matured to the point where they were able to do so on their own. All that authority was transferred to the political establishment in Washington during the ultra-liberal bent that took control of our entire governing process in the early 1960's, which placed it completely out of reach for our emotionally confused children.
The transfer of authority to control the emotional stability of our children to Washington had disastrous consequences, and it's all laid out in easily understandable terms in this text.
About the Author
Edwin H. Gischel is a 1958 graduate of the late Admiral Hyman G. Rickover's Submarine Nuclear Engineering program. He served ten years in the Navy from 1953 through 1962, followed by ten years at the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics shipyard in Groton Connecticut as a Nuclear Power Plant Test Technician, Test Director, Assistant Nuclear Refueling Director, and Refueling Director.
In 1972, he was recruited by United Engineers and Constructors of Philadelphia, where he was employed for three years as a Nuclear Engineer designing commercial nuclear power plants, followed by two years as a Consultant on UE&C's elite Nuclear Technical Staff.
In 1977, Mr. Gischel was selected to take the technical lead at Catalytic Inc., another Philadelphia based engineering firm, on the design and construction of the largest, and most comprehensive Radioactive Waste Processing, Packaging and Storage Facility in the world at the time. Upon completion of the project's design phase, he was promoted to the position of Manager of Nuclear Power Engineering.
In 1981, Mr. Gischel accepted the position of TMI-2 Plant Engineering Director for the GPU Nuclear Corporation during the accident recovery program, after which he transferred over to GPUN's sister corporation, the Metropolitan Edison Company, where he served as Special Projects Director until his retirement in 1994.
Mr. Gischel is both a Certified Engineering Technician and a Professional Nuclear Engineer. He was a member of the Connecticut Chapter of the American Society of Certified Engineering Technicians, and was selected National Technician of the Month for January and February of 1971. He served as Chapter Secretary 1971-1972, and was National Director for the Northeast region of ASCET in 1972.
Mr. Gischel was awarded Patents in the United States and thirteen foreign countries for his novel Radioactive Fluid Filtration System designs, and has written extensively on a wide variety of nuclear engineering topics. This is his first foray into the field of commercial writing.
