"To paraphrase Lyndon Johnson, Sidney Blumenthal has been on the
inside shooting out and now he's on the outside shooting in. He's
hitting his target--the Bush administration--better than anyone
else. He sets his sights on the entire Bush agenda--the blundering
war in Iraq, a reckless economic policy, a corrupt Congress, and
the little-noticed but highly destructive war on honest and
objective national security career professionals in the CIA, the
State Department, and the military. The result is a devastating
account of a radical presidency."--James Carville
"History's judgment of America's 43rd president is likely to be
harsh. He presented himself in 2000 as a political centrist who
would insist on the highest standards of honesty and accountability
and would show his country's 'humble but strong' face to the world.
He has governed in a very different and destructive way. The full
story of how the Bush who was elected became the Bush who governed
will take years to tell. But the real-time draft of history
provided by Sidney Blumenthal in these dispatches will be an
invaluable resource. He is a partisan, and proud of it. But he is
also accurate, convincing, urbane, and far ahead of others in
detecting trends and connections."--James Fallows, national
correspondent for the "Atlantic Monthly" and author of "Blind Into
Baghdad"
"Sidney Blumenthal's sustained evisceration of the Bush II
presidency is simply thrilling. At once fiery and cool, powered by
the author's extraordinary feel for American politics, American
history, American popular culture, and the esoteric mysteries of
American conservatism, "How Bush Rules" yields so much fierce
pleasure that it does the seeminglyimpossible: it makes from the
materials of these lost years a thing of value."--Hendrik
Hertzberg, author of "Politics: Observations and Arguments"
"Sidney Blumenthal is sharper and better informed than most
political scientists. He is not only erudite but also witty,
accessible, and very quick (but not at all glib), and he writes
like a dream."--Alan Ryan, author of "Liberal Anxieties and Liberal
Education"
"This is compelling, tough-minded journalism. It makes an
important contribution to public debate."--Ira Katznelson, Columbia
University
