Alot of people trash Rieber for his views but I love what he's doing, although I have to agree the writing is a bit odd and Jae Lee's art isn't helping at all. I can never get used to Jae Lee. When you put Jae Lee with the writer of "Books of Magic", you should know what to expect.
It's an interesting spin on Cap, I say go for it, but just remember Rieber was going to build something out of this storyline, and he was never able to complete it, thus the volume after this goes in a totally different direction and will likely never touch upon these topics again. As far as I'm concerned it's an uncompleted work.

While the artwork in this compilation is very sharp, I was disappointed with the overall storyline. The characterization of Cap was unnatural, at times, and the plot was often implausible. Was the storyline politically charged? I'll leave that for the reader to decide on their own. If you are interested in this book, I would suggest tracking it down at your local library as opposed to buying it. It is not one you will want to keep around after suffering through it once.

While not delving into the political aspects of this book or the reviewer who appears to take issue with those who disliked this book, I have to say this story misses the mark. Captain America is merely a one-dimensional character in this storyline. The dialogue is trying at times and the plot is jumbled. I have to say, however, that the artwork was more than acceptable. If you are interested in this character, there are some much better offerings out there. Pass this one up unless you are a completionist.

My all-time favorite Captain America story. The story tackles so many topics: Killing, Duty, Illusion, Trust, Isolation
The art by Jae Lee is mesmerizing and it matches the tone perfectly. He is now one of my favorite artists.
As for the [those] who see this as some sort of vile left wing political story, that shows [your] bias. Because Captain America questions his government, that's totally within his character of fighting for freedom and justice. Every soldier should question why he is fighting. That's more important now than ever before.

This storyline comes with a political agenda. If you like having someone else's political views rammed down your throat in a puerile fashion, this book is for you. If you like to make your own decisions on politics, look elsewhere. Marvel allows this "writer" to undue over 40 years of characterization (next to Superman, Captain America has been displayed as one of the most patriotic figures in the comics genre), to produce this storyline which I'm certain is entirely consistent with the writer's extreme views. Even putting this aside, the writing is poor, the art is no more than adequate, and the story drags. If you are looking for a good Captain America storyline, try some Kurt Busiek/George Perez Avenger Compilations. This book is a waste of money.
