Editorial Review:

Product Description:
An explosive examination of the coalition of forces that threatens the nation, from the bestselling author of American Dynasty

In his two most recent bestselling books, American Dynasty and Wealth and Democracy, Kevin Phillips established himself as a powerful critic of the political and economic forces that rule—and imperil—the United States, tracing the ever more alarming path of the emerging Republican majority’s rise to power. Now Phillips takes an uncompromising view of the current age of global overreach, fundamentalist religion, diminishing resources, and ballooning debt under the GOP majority. With an eye to the past and a searing vision of the future, Phillips confirms what too many Americans are still unwilling to admit about the depth of our misgovernment.

"American Theocracy" provides ... Read More

Five stars because it's a must read if you want to understand hate speech using big words.

Rating: - Even Better Than the One Before It, "American Dynasty"
I wrote a glowing review of Kevin's FIRST examination of the Bush clan.
Then came a book that tied all-together what the 2000's years have been about...and it is downright scary as I write this in late November 2008...with a punishing recession set in stone and the financial markets victim to short-sellers and hedge fund greedy pigs...how accurate this terrific examination turned out to be! The younger George Bush, contrary to the old ridiculous saw about "big spending Democrats" doubled the ... Read More
