The Rise and Rise of Richard B. Cheney
By
John Nichol
John Nichols has written a riveting and revealing anatomy of the Bush administration, by producing the most thorough portrait of its power broker. Dick Cheney sets energy policy. He guided the nation into war with Iraq. And, working closely with Karl Rover, he oversees the political infrastructure that allows corporate interests and the religious right to control lawmaking, regulation, the selection of judges, and the development of foreign policy. As the London Review of Books noted in its review, Nichols "makes a persuasive case...that the vice-presidency is the real locus of power in the current U. S administration: Cheney runs the show." With an emboldened administration that has turned a thin victory into a renewed mandate - rewarding ideologues and purging dissenters - the question is more urgent than ever: Can American survive four more years of Dick Cheney?
