Not since Richard Nixon's heyday has there been a more controversial president capable of polarizing public opinion than George W. Bush. From his arrival in office - through what many still regard as one of the most flagrant miscarriages of electoral justice in modern history - to the long road to Iraq, liberals have vilified Bush as ardently as neoconservatives have embraced him.Both Alterman and Green are known for their doggedness in researching the media and political figures, and what they discover in the case of Bush is a consistent pattern of double standards, misrepresentation, and contradictions.
The Book on Bush methodically critiques administration policy from the standpoint of its truthfulness as well as its merit, with the characteristic wit of both writers.
