Book Reviews of The Last Empire: Essays 1992-2000
Book Review: Quite magnificent and 'outrageously' accurate.
Summary: 5 Stars
I came to Vidal late in life and have read him critically but with an open mind. My principal reaction to these essays is anger, at the manner in which I have been deceived by politicians (not least the masters of the US) and at myself for my unthinking acceptance of the 'given' word on world politics. There is, of course, an opposing point of view but I recommend this book to any thinking person with an interest in the state of the world today.
