Vidal, Gore Dreaming War: Blood for Oil and the Cheney-Bush Junta
Nation Books December 2002 1-56025-502-1 / 9781560255024 Paperback Fine
Long before the events of September 11, Vidal's place was secured as a prol ific preacher against America's imperialist policies. At age 76, he uses hi s exceptional talents to produce bound collections of his controversial ess ays and op-eds. However, this latest creation lacks the eloquence and grace that previously distinguished him from other writers in their attempts to uncover the hidden truths within our American republic. Vidal calls for a m ore thorough investigation into the response, or lack thereof, from the "Ch eney-Bush junta" on September 11 and purports that corporate greed and Amer ican imperialism have been the driving themes behind our new war on terror. He explores the oil connections that Osama bin Laden's family established with Bush during his tenure as an oil magnate in Texas and implores us to p robe further into America's real interest in conquering Afghanistan. Accord ing to Vidal, America's media elite perform the government's dirty work by spreading disinformation-including about Vidal himself-to the general publi c. As a result, Vidal spends much of this book refuting attacks from the ma instream media that portray him as anti-American, although his unabashed st yle gives readers final say in drawing their own conclusion. Regardless, fa ithful fans of Vidal will revel in his relentless adoration of Jeffersonian ideals and courageous dissection of the evil roots of American foreign pol icy.

Vidal, Gore Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace
Nation Books March 10, 2002 1-56025-405-X / 9781560254058 Paperback Fine
In this collection of essays, noted novelist and critic Vidal turns his ace rbic wit on the United States. Never shy about expressing his opinion, Vida l questions U.S. assumptions regarding the Oklahoma City and World Trade Ce nter bombings: "That our ruling junta might have seriously provoked McVeigh and Osama was never dealt with." His critique of the coverage of September 11 is slim, mostly centering on already reported truisms about why many in the Muslim world sympathize in some way with Osama bin Laden. Some readers , however, will share his unease with the willingness on the part of the Am erican government and the American people to put concerns for civil liberti es on the back burner during the war on terrorism. Vidal's criticisms of Mc Veigh, with whom he struck up a correspondence and a relationship, is more detailed. In Vidal's view, it is unlikely that McVeigh was solely responsib le for Oklahoma City, and he saw himself as a martyr for a libertarian caus e that would rescue America. But in this book, the tone is as important as the text. Vidal gleefully skewers American capitalism and the role of the r eligious right in American politics at every opportunity. Critics of Americ an policy and American life, as well as those prone to conspiracy theories, are likely to find a lot of fodder. Many will not be surprised that Vidal' s views have not received a wider hearing a piece on McVeigh was rejected b y Vanity Fair, another by the Nation but even at his most contrarian, Vidal 's writing is powerful and graceful.
