Signed by author on title page in black fountain ink. Dean's previous NY Times bestseller,WORSE THAN WATERGATE : The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush, offered the former White House insider's telling perspective on George W. Bush's presidency. Once again, he employs his knowledge & understanding of Washington politics & process to examine the conservative movement's current inner circle of radical Republican leaders--from Capitol Hill to Pennsylvania Ave to K Street & beyond. InCONSERVATIVES WITHOUT CONSCIENCE, he not only highlights specific right-wing-driven GOP policies but also probes the conservative mindset, identifying recurring qualities such as the unbridled viciousness toward those daring to disagree with them, as well as the big business favoritism that costs taxpayers billions. He identifies specific examples of how court-packing seeks to form a judiciary that is biased by its very nature, how religious piety is producing politics run amok & how concealed indifference to the founding principles of liberty & equality is pushing America further & further from its constitutional foundations. By the end, he paints a vivid picture of what's happening at the top levels of the Republican Party, a party corrupted by leaders who cloak their actions in moral superiority while packaging their programs in blatant propaganda. He finds disturbing signs that current right-wing authoritarian thinking, when conflated with the domineering personalities of the conservative leadership, could take the USA toward its own version of fascism. John W. Dean is the former Nixon White House counsel, whose testimony before Congress against the President in the Watergate scandal lead directly to Nixon's resignation. He is also the author of BLIND AMBITION: The White House Years, LOST HONOR, THE REHNQUIST CHOICE, and WORSE THAN WATERGATE: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush.
