A large and growing chunk of the American population was so turned off--or radicalized--by electoral chicanery, a spineless news media, and the increasingly blatant lies from our leaders (they hate us for our freedom) that they abandoned the political mainstream altogether. They joined what he calls The Great Derangement.\u003cbr\u003eTaibbi tells the story of this new American madness by inserting himself into four defining American subcultures: \u003cb\u003eThe Military\u003c\/b\u003e, where he finds himself mired in the grotesque black comedy of the American occupation of Iraq; \u003cb\u003eThe System\u003c\/b\u003e, where he follows the money-slicked path of legislation in Congress; \u003cb\u003eThe Resistance\u003c\/b\u003e, where he doubles as chief public antagonist and undercover member of the passionately bonkers 9\/11 Truth Movement; and \u003cb\u003eThe Church\u003c\/b\u003e, where he infiltrates a politically influential apocalyptic mega-ministry in Texas and enters the lives of its desperate congregants. Together these four interwoven adventures paint a portrait of a nation dangerously out of touch with reality and desperately searching for answers in all the wrong places.\u003cbr\u003eFunny, smart, and a little bit heartbreaking, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Derangement \u003c\/i\u003eis an audaciously reported, sobering, and illuminating portrait of America at the end of the Bush era.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49540577624337,"sku":"GOR003727086","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50323808518417,"sku":"CIN0385520344G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50520392270097,"sku":"GOR013983741","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50608623550737,"sku":"GOR002043115","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50649468371217,"sku":"CIN0385520344VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385520344.jpg?v=1750975128"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/fr-fr\/collections\/auteur-livres-de-m-taibbi.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
