More DescriptionGold is the former press aide to Barry Goldwater, the founder of the conservative movement, as well as the former speechwriter and senior advisor for George H. W. Bush. And he is incensed that the Neo-Cons and their strange bedfellows, the Evangelical Right, have stolen his party and betrayed the ideals of the conservative cause. Now he's fighting back. After four decades as a Republican insider, Gold is ready to tell all about the war being waged for the soul of the GOP, including the elder Bush's opinion of his son's work domestically and abroad, the significance of the newly elected Congress, and how Goldwater would have reacted to it all. In this critique of the Bush administration, Gold reveals, among other explosive disclosures, how George W. has been used and manipulated by the vice president. His detailing of the president's puppet-like role amongst Neo- and Theo-Conservatives is utterly chilling. (Previous Description)
