    In simple terms, using hard facts, William Pitt lays out exactly how and why our ship of state, America, has lost her rudder. No name-calling, no straw man arguments, no ad hominem attacks, just clear, factual arguments on how America has suffered under the present administration. Should be required reading in current events and history classes.

    This book could not be more wearisome and erroneous. Rather than attempting a chapter by chapter refutation of this leftist assault on America masquerading as non-fiction, let me just suffice this review with the fact that Mr. Pitt cherry picks his facts to suit his conclusions. He makes leaps of logic that only a shill for al Qeada could find their way through.

    On the positive, Mr Pitt has a gift for prose, but for my personal taste it is long winded. The book could be made significantly more readable by shortening it to a pamphlet.

    In his first book (with Scott Ritter), "War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn't Want You to Know" (2002), William Rivers Pitt established himself as a clear voice for reason against the invasion and occupation of Iraq by the neocon death cult known as the George W. Bush administration. All the lies subsequently exposed leading up to the greatest and still-unfolding foreign policy disaster in American history are presaged by years in Pitt's stunningly accurate depiction of an out-of-control American presidency. Bent on ideological fervor and enabled by a sheeplike, compliant Congress and profit-driven media machine, Bush and the ruling class fooled the American people into supporting a hellish parody of the vision of their Founding Fathers and allowed their Constitution to be swept into the maw of their grandiose and perverse new mission for the Republic.

    In this latest chronicle of the tone-deaf, blinders-on, 'ready - fire - aim' blunders that define the Bush presidency, Pitt scathingly and accurately points out the folly of the PNAC-driven agenda and points out the obvious, what at three in four Americans now believe: George W. Bush is a failure.

    I'd pass on this if I had the chance again. I think the author tries to write like Hunter Thompson but it just comes off condescending and cheap. It is definitely a cheerleading book for the left and if that is what you are after you will probably like it. If you are looking for something exploring facts or trying to learn something I would not recommend it.

    Whether we like to admit it or not, the Bush administration has left us in a mess. Iraq, Katrina, Oil dependency, 911 happening on their watch....

    This book takes us back and lets us revisit these troubling issues, so hopefully we can correct the mistakes and not let them happen again.

    Those that are critical of this book - have. not. read. it.

    When was the last time people were so afraid of a book, or the truth? It tells you that there is something worth reading here. And there is.

    As usual, William Rivers Pitt delivers the hard, cold facts wrapped in his trademark witty and concise writing style. A true pleasure to read... unless you are still clinging to the lies of the GWB administration. In that case, I imagine it's pretty painful.
