CHRONICLES OF THE BUSH ERA

Named one of the 2005 books of the year by the Times Literary Supplement (TLS), CHRONICLES OF THE BUSH ERA: WHAT I HEARD ABOUT IRAQ begins with George W. Bush's inauguration in January 2001, when Weinberger makes a dire prediction of the invasion of Iraq and highlights the decisions that legitimized the 2001 presidential election as "America's first coup d'état." The author compiles an anthology of the outrages and mistakes of the U.S. government over the past five years. He denounces the actions not only of the president and his direct aides, but of the Republican Party as a whole.
