Dude Where's My Country
by
Michael Moore

(From the website of Barne's and Nobel:)

If Moore's earlier work Stupid White Men didn't shake up the Bush administration, this latest exposé is another shout for attention. Moore, whose credits include the bestseller Downsize This! and the award-winning documentary "Bowling for Columbine," challenges Dubya to either step down or explain his 25-year involvement with the bin Laden family, his relationship to the Saudi royal family, the Taliban's visit to Texas, and the Saudi connection to 9/11. He also attempts to sort out Bush's web of tall Texas tales regarding Saddam Hussein and the war in Iraq. In addition to pages of notes and credits, Moore includes a helpful chapter called "How to talk to your conservative brother-in-law." Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR 

(I enjoy Michael Moore's sense of humor and found that even though  written prior to the election of 2004 listening to this book on audio was a delightful way to spend my commute the last couple weeks.  The back ground information was interesting as was realizing that some of the foresight was correct as now proven by history.  Be sure and click on the title of the book to read an excerpt and to click on the author's name to learn more about him.)
