State of War by Joseph Smith
James Risen has broken story after story on the abuses of power of the Bush administration. From warrantless wiretapping to secret financial data mining to the CIA's rogue operations, he has shown again and again that the executive branch has dangerously overreached, repudiated checks and balances on its power, and maintained secrecy even with its allies in Congress. In no small part thanks to Risen and State of War, the secret history of the Bush years has now come partially into view. In a new epilogue for the paperback edition, Risen describes the two-front war that President Bush is now fighting: at home against Congress and the Supreme Court, as his administration is increasingly reined in from its abuses; and in the Middle East, where George W. Bush's great gamble to bring a democratic revolution is failing radically. We must learn the lessons of Risen's history now, before it is too late.James Risen is a New York Times investigative writer and the author of several books, including the New York Times bestseller State of War. He earned a Pulitzer Prize in 2006 for his reporting on the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping. He was named to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2007.
