Review Excerpts:
“Sidney Blumenthal…understands the workings of the White House. His recently published book, How Bush Rules: Chronicles of a Radical Regime, collects his columns from November 2003 to April 2006, and they provide week-by-week freeze-frames of an array of significant events over the past three years. (They are, in fact, wonderfully insightful probes by a seasoned journalist with insider experience who knows exactly where to look.)”–John Dean, findlaw.com

“Sid Blumenthal [is] the rare analyst of contemporary affairs who brings to his commentary a deep knowledge of American history and political culture…. He was one of the people warning us all along about this administration’s radicalism. But not enough of us listened or understood.”–David Greenberg, TPMCafe
