This book is the work of one of America's most outspoken new journalists. William Rivers Pitt's caustic critique of the American government between 1998 and 2002 gives voice to the growing tide of dissent and outrage with America's leaders both inside the country and in the wider world.Pitt argues that, under George W. Bush, America makes a mockery of the values of liberty and truth that it purports to stand for, and that it is now more important than ever to speak out. Starting with the 1998 Clinton impeachment, Pitt suggests that the crisis was engineered by a group of Christian conservatives in order to bring down the Clinton government.

In their rush to defend "liberty", George Bush and his allies are actuall
