Description
|
|
|
|
Following Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace and Dreaming War, the late Gore Vidal penned this conclusion to his trilogy on the "Cheney-Bush junta" during the run-up for George W. Bush's second term. Vidal comments on Bush's apparent invincibility, wonders about the nationwide installation of black box voting machines that seem to swing votes toward Republicans, and analyzes wars apparently fought to secure the world's oil reserves. This volume also collects Vidal's series of "real" State of the Union addresses, a tradition inaugurated on The David Susskind Show in the early 1970s as a counterpoint to the addresses of whoever happened to be president.
