Veering Right
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Mr. Tiefer admits that he is a lawyer, hence no one should be surprised when I say that he writes like one. In the fine tradition of legal briefs the world over, the style is dry, dry, dry. No Al Franken, this man. However, the information is important, well researched, and dead on the mark. Mr. Tiefer manages to lift the curtain on the current administration so well, that the last chapter of this book will chill you when you realize that it was written a year ago.
Subversion traced to whitehouse.gov

There have been quite a lot of books this year attempting to breach the Bush battlements, but this one, by its calm and meticulous depiction and documentation, does the job in low key but chilling fashion. No screaming salvos, simply a quiet indictment that adds up by the end of the book to a funereal snapshot of the stealth right, the Bush agenda in the shadows, and the peril for the future given the current conservative momentum. The effect is made steady handed by the depth of the authors experience in government, and the result is a verdict, more than an Op Ed soundbite attack. One of the best of the bunch, and a good antidote to such other similarly themed books such as The Right Nation.
Read this book and you won't vote for Bush
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
If you're tired of books that make accusations without presenting proof, then this is the book for you. Tiefer provides an in-depth analysis of the subversive nature and the Bush administration and especially John Ashcroft - attacks on the reproductive choices of women and the subjugation of our 4th amendment rights to name two of the issues addressed in the book. The implications of this book are chilling and I believe any intelligent person who reads it can't do anything but vote against Bush on November 2nd.
