The former White House counsel faults Republican
mismanagement for the current state of the government
John Dean has become one of the most trenchant and
respected commentators on the current state of American
politics and one of the most outspoken and perceptive
critics of the administration of George W. Bush in his
New York Times bestsellers Conservatives Without
Conscience and Worse Than Watergate.
In
his eighth book, Dean takes the broadest and deepest view
yet of the dysfunctional chaos and institutional damage that
the Republican Party and its core conservatives have
inflicted on the federal government. He assesses the state
of all three branches of government, tracing their decline
through the presidencies of Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, and
Bush II. Unlike most political commentary, which is
concerned with policy, Dean looks instead at process—
making the case that the 2008 presidential race must
confront these fundamental problems as well. Finally, he
addresses the question that he is so often asked at his
speaking engagements: What, if anything, can and should
politically moderate citizens do to combat the extremism,
authoritarianism, incompetence, and increasing focus on
divisive wedge issues of so many of today’s conservative
politicians?
With the Democrats now in control of
both the House and Senate, the stakes for the 2008
presidential election have never been higher. This is a book
for anyone who wants to return government to the spirit of
the Constitution.
