Synopsis

Conventional wisdom has it that the Middle East crisis is the product of a clash of civilizations between Islam and the West. THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF BUSH frames that conflict as part of an entirely different paradigm -- namely, the ongoing war between faith and reason, between fundamentalisms (Islamic, Jewish, Christian) and the modern, scientific, post-Enlightenment world. It tells the story of how radical, neoconservative ideologues secretly formed an alliance with the Christian Right in the Bush White House -- and how, driven by delusional idealism and ideological and religious zeal, they waged unilateral and pre-emptive war in the Middle East as well as a domestic war against reason, science and civil liberties. Extending the investigative reach deployed so devastatingly in HOUSE OF BUSH, HOUSE OF SAUD, Craig Unger's brilliant expose shows the real intentions -- and likely outcomes -- of the Bush administration's true playbook.

Media Reviews
Craig Unger has done America and the world a huge favor by clearly and precisely documenting how the Bush inner circle is in the very deep pockets of the brutal Saudi dictators.

-- Michael Moore


Cautious and elemental...with great care [Unger] has synthesized these scattered reports into a narrative that is as chilling as it is gripping. The book builds a momentum of discovery that makes it impossible to stop reading.

-- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution


Unger fruitfully probes the ambiguous -- and fatally compromised -- Saudi-American relationship spanning two decades.... It's must-reading for anyone who wishes to understand the origins of 9/11 and America's precarious position in the world today.

-- The New York Observer


Revealing...This book should be mandatory reading for every member of any 9/11 investigation panel -- even the one appointed by the president.... Intensely researched and well-documented...illuminating, disturbing...skillfully packaged ...meticulously referenced.

-- Fort Worth Star-Telegram


Unger succeeds in...detailing the business interests and personal friendships that evolved between the Bush family's inner circle and the Saudi elite.... [He] does an admirable job revealing how extensively the Bushes parlayed family connections into wealth and power, describing the too cozy interplay of public policy, political opportunity, and economic gain.... An impressive job.

-- The New York Times
