Subtitled: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century.

From America's premier political analyst, an explosive examination of the coalition of forces that threatens the nation in the twenty-first century. 

In his two most recent books, American Dynasty and Wealth and Democracy, Kevin Phillips established himself as a powerful critic of the political and economic forces that rule - and imperil - the United States, tracing the ever more alarming path of the emerging Republican majority's rise to power.  Now Philips takes an uncompromising view of the newest stage of the GOP majority: an inept and weakly led coalition, dominated by religious zealotry, that is losing America the world's respect - and endagering her future.
