Old school conservative Kevin Phillips, widely acknowledged as one of the best political analysts in America, rips the Bush administration a new one in American Theocracy.

The man who contributed key strategies for Nixon's election now turns his analytical mind loose on the mistakes of the Bush administration.  In particular, the book examines Bush's core constituencies: the oil industry, far right conservative Christians and the financial industry.  This unusual marriage, he claims, has forced the Republican party into a corner from which there is no exit.  Current policy, he claims, is locking America into a direction that can only lead to disaster -- no oil, too much debt, and too far right.

Whether you're a die-hard Democrat or Republican, this book will make you think -- and think hard.

Great read, highest recommendation.
