VERLAGSTEXT:

Following the publication of Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace and Dreaming War, Gore Vidal was described as the last "noble defender" of the American republic. Now, in the long-awaited conclusion to his bestselling trilogy, Vidal presents his most devastating exploration of Imperial America to date. "Not since the 1846 attack on Mexico in order to seize California", writes Vidal, "has an American government been so nakedly predatory."

George W. Bush's apparent invincibility, and what he may or may not know - especially about those new "black box" voting machines installed all over the country before the presidential election - are central themes of "State of the Union 2004", a magnificent and witty Olympian survey of American Empire, where the War on Terror is judged as nonsensical as the "war on dandruff", where America is an "Enron-Pentagon prison" - a land of ballooning budget deficits thanks to the growth of a garrison state, tax cuts for the privileged, and the creeping totalitarianism of John Ashcroft's justice department.
