Book summary

Gore Vidal returns to his favorite subject, "the United States of Amnesia," for this collection of essays, many of which focus on his bête noire, George W. Bush, whom Vidal considers the most reckless and predatory president in American history. In addition, essays written between 1975 and 2004 cover--with caustic wit--such topics as the war on drugs, the shame of America's nonexistent health-care policy, and the historical roots of American imperialism, dating at least back to the 1846 land grab that gave us California.

Media reviews

"Vitriolic, bilious, venomous, and a lot of fun."
