"The Book on Bush" "He has such a high regard for the truth that he uses it sparingly." Abraham Lincoln ======================================================== REVIEWS "...unlike some of their contemporaries, [Alterman and Green] choose to largely eschew the clever metaphors and whimsical storytelling to get right at their pointed criticisms of George W. Bush, whom they accuse of being less than honest with the American people while serving the interests of large corporations, the religious right, and neoconservative ideologues. Such charges, by themselves, are so commonplace by this point as to be unremarkable but Alterman and Green provide voluminous, detailed research and come at the case with the vigor of prosecuting attorneys certain of a defendant's guilt or maybe a pair of exceptionally ambitious graduate students ready to present a final dissertation." -- Amazon.com "From this voluminous record emerges a portrait of Bush as an ideological bully who knows how to "fake left and drive to the right," passing himself off as a populist while launching initiatives that benefit only his hardcore supporters. Expect liberal cognoscenti to back this book in droves as the election campaigns heat up." -- Publisher's Weekly BOOK DESCRIPTION In the liveliest critical book on the president published in this election year, Eric Alterman and Mark Green show how George W. Bush’s administration has been built on level upon level of misstatements, half truths, and distortions. With a presidential election approaching, the authors reveal how this pattern of deception produces failed policies: * how Bush’s serial dissembling about Iraq and terrorism has angered the world and hindered homeland security * how Bush’s manipulation of economic data tries to hide the greatest reverse redistribution of wealth and largest job losses since Herbert Hoover * how Bush and his administration have broken more treaties than any other in American history The Book on Bush will be the definitive critique of the Bush presidency, written by two bestselling analysts and timed to the beginning of the 2004 election season.
