The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Palm Reader]
by
Byron York
|
|
The Left is angry--angry at President George W. Bush, the war in Iraq, the "right-wing media," and more. And as National Review investigative writer Byron York reveals in this stunning, meticulously reported book, liberal activists have harnessed that anger to build the biggest, richest, and best organized political movement in American history. Indeed, the Left's failure to oust President Bush in 2004 has obscured the fact that this new movement has transformed American politics. York documents...

American soldiers serve willingly. They risk their lives so the rest of us can be safe. The one small thing they ask, though, is that they not be sent into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. But after being lied to about weapons of mass destruction and about the connection between al Qaeda and Iraq; after being forced by stop-loss orders to extend their deployment; after being undertrained, underequipped, and overworked long after George Bush declared Iraq "Mission Accomplished," thes...

The Right Man is the first inside account of a historic year in the Bush White House, by the presidential speechwriter credited with the phrase "Axis of Evil."
