Bushworld

From Washington to Kennebunkport to Texas to 'old' and 'new' Europe, Maureen Dowd has trained her binoculars on the Bush dynasty for the past two decades. In this, her first book, the celebrated Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist delivers a scorching - and often scorchingly funny - illumination of the Bush administration's fractured adventures in empire-building. It is a turbulent odyssey that charts how a Shakespearean cast of regents, courtiers and neo-Conservatives -- all with their own subterranean agendas - have taken on King George II's 'War on Terror'. As she writes in Bushworld, 'It's their reality. We just live and die in it.'
