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.

Craig Unger knows how to get the big political story - and this one is his most explosive yet. Through scores of interviews with primary figures in the Christian Right, the neoconservative movement, the Bush administration, and sources close to the Bush family, as well as intelligence agents in the CIA, the Pentagon, Israel, and Italy. Unger traces te behind-the-scenes confluence of Christian fundamentalist leaders, neoconservatives, and, most crucially George W. Bush. It was their shared beliefs, their certainty that they could bend history to their will. Unger shows, that they have carried America into the disastrous war in Iraq, doming Bush's presidency and costing America thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. Far from insuring our security, the Iraq War will be seen as a great strategic pivot point in history that could ignite war in the Middle East.'
