Book: 'Empire Burlesque', by Chris Floyd
Empire Burlesque: High Crimes and Low Comedy in the Bush Emporium"Terrorized, militarized, riddled with corruption, despised and feared around the world -- never has the American Republic fallen so low"
The Secret History of the Bush Regime
A New Book by Chris Floyd
Based on his Global Eye Columns
2001 - 2005
From the Award-Winning journalist comes a much-anticipated collection of his penetrating and prescient coverage of the Bush Administration.
Never has the American Republic stood in such a degraded state as it does today: terrorized, militarized, subjected to arbitrary rule, riddled with corruption, despised and feared around the world – and more exposed to attack than ever before.
How the hell did we get here? Empire Burlesque tells the tale, giving us the secret history of the Bush Regime – the backroom deals, the covert ops, and the monstrous betrayals of American principles that have gone down behind the pious rhetoric and sugary deceptions. The book plays it all back in real time: a view from the ground as it was happening, before the spin and revisionist history set in. These are stories – and angles of stories – that flew beneath the feeble radar of the mainstream media, stories told with humor, with anger, with hard-nosed facts, in detailed snapshots catching the corrupters in the act and in wide-screen vistas reaching back for historical context and sweeping forward to implications for the future.
Written by the veteran American journalist Chris Floyd, the book is taken largely from the controversial Moscow Times column, Global Eye, which has drawn a worldwide following both in print and on the internet, and from regular pieces in the leading American political journal, CounterPunch. Floyd's work also appears in The Nation, Columbia Journalism Review, The Christian Science Monitor, The Bergen Record, The Ecologist (UK), and other venues.
