Produktbeschreibung

The New York Times Bestseller by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist! "I think what's important for you to know is that I feel I know what to do. I really do. I may not be able to tell you exactly the nuance of the East Timorian situation, but I'll ask Condi Rice or I'll ask Paul Wolfowitz or I'll ask Dick Cheney. I'll ask the people who've had experience."-George W. Bush, June 13, 1999 For the past two decades, Maureen Dowd has trained her binoculars-and her scorching wit-on the Bush dynasty. Here, she explores and dissects the entire story, in all its Oedipal, Orwellian, Shakespearean glory. Drawing from her New York Times column, with a new introductory essay, she journeys to Maine, Texas, Washington, old Europe, new Europe, and Saudi Arabia, chronicling both father and son as well as the cast of characters surrounding them. For any reader who cares about America, it's essential reading. As Dowd says about Bushworld: "It's their reality. We only live and die in it." "Scathingly funny…Others cover the same waterfront, but Dowd's keen dramatization of complex situations, uncannily biting caricatures and merciless re-spinning of spin set her far apart from the pack."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
