About the Book

Conventional wisdom has it that the Middle East crisis is the product of a clash of civilizations between Islam and the West. THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF BUSH frames that conflict as part of an entirely different paradigm -- namely, the ongoing war between faith and reason, between fundamentalisms (Islamic, Jewish, Christian) and the modern, scientific, post-Enlightenment world. It tells the story of how radical, neoconservative ideologues secretly formed an alliance with the Christian Right in the Bush White House -- and how, driven by delusional idealism and ideological and religious zeal, they waged unilateral and pre-emptive war in the Middle East as well as a domestic war against reason, science and civil liberties. Extending the investigative reach deployed so devastatingly in HOUSE OF BUSH, HOUSE OF SAUD, Craig Unger's brilliant exposé shows the real intentions -- and likely outcomes -- of the Bush administration's true playbook.

About the Author :
Craig Unger is a distinguished journalist and author who is frequently consulted as an analyst on terrorism, Saudi-American relations and the oil industry.

Review :
'Billed as "a terrifyingly convincing and compelling expose of the true motivation of the Bush administration"' the key claim is that Bush has put the US on the road to Armageddon' Scotland on Sunday 25/11 'The focus of Unger's book, coming after his succes de scandale with House of Bush, House of Saud, is the "counter-narrative" of the Bush presidency... Unger examines the build-up to the Iraq war to demonstrate the disastrous consequences of faith-based intelligence, as practiced by the ideologically-motivated White House' Independent 11/1 'A vivid reporter' The Economist 1/3 "A powerful account of the long-standing campaign by neoconservatives (which long predated the terrorist attacks of 9/11) to topple Saddam Hussein, the ideological roots of the administration's ideas about preemption and unilateral action, and the efforts of hawks in the Pentagon and the vice president's office to bypass regular policy-making channels and use cherry-picked intelligence to push for the war." --The New Y o r k T i m e s "Reporters like Unger--there are a handful of them, and one learns to seek out their bylines--work the trenches, questioning the conventional wisdom rather than creating it." -- T h e G u a r d i a n
