Book Reviews of Dreaming War: Blood for Oil and the Cheney-Bush Junta (Nation Books)

Book Review: A welcome perspective from a literary genius
Summary: 5 Stars

Gore Vidal is simply the wittiest and most intelligent writer around at the moment. He is also one of the most entertaining. I was glued to this book from start to finish.

His take on 9/11 (the infamous Observer article) is a shining example of common sense and clear thinking. And his piece on the New Yorker columnist Louis Menand, in which he literally tears him apart with his dry, incisive humour, had me in stitches. Also included in this five star collection are solid essays on US empire (The Last Empire, Mickey Mouse Historian, etc.) which give invaluable background to the Iraq 'crisis' of the present time.

Those who have not yet discovered Vidal, or who have come to him through his writings on current affairs, will not be disappointed with this.
