Armed Madhouse:
From Baghdad to New Orleans--Sordid Secrets and Strange Tales of a White House Gone Wild
Author: Greg Palast
A Review on Amazon.com
If the members of the mainsteam media had even a fraction of Greg
Palast's guts, integrity and truth-telling, this country (and the
world) would be a better place. Unfortunately, they don't, and George
W. Bush and the Neocons continue their mission to Stalinize the USA.
Read Palast's books to get a feel for what's REALLY going on.
Editorial from Publishers Weekly
Palast (The Best Democracy Money can Buy) is a refreshing, fearless
witness to the American political landscape-and he doesn't really care
whether or not you like him for it: "I am not a nice man. You want
something heartwarming ... buy a puppy." Though Palast comes right out
and calls George Bush II un-American ("'Greg, you have no respect for
the office of the President.' No, I don't. Not one iota."), the author
is not another TV or radio personality with an axe to grind. A former
corporate fraud and racketeering investigator, Palast is an economist
and investigative journalist, and his arguments are based on research
and fact. At once scary, infuriating, fascinating and frustrating, this
book covers almost all the controversial political territory of the new
century (see the subtitle), including Hurricane Katrina. Palast
believes that this crucial period has put every working citizen's
rights at stake-"from the Wage and Hour Law's 40-hour week to the
Clayton Antitrust Law"-and his well-reasoned outrage makes a convincing
case. Unfortunately, Palast is short on solutions; the only actions he
advocates are signing up at his web site and voting the bums out-even
though, as Palast points out, Bush already "lost the election. TWICE."
