O'Rourke visits the Lebanese civil war and the Marcos election campaign, sees Russia through the bottom of a vodka bottle and examines sundry aspects of Western civilization, such as the great bicycle menace, the history of the last fifteen minutes and 'How to drive fast on drugs while getting your wing-wang squeezed and not spill your drink' 'This boozy hymn to home - to America - is funny because it is resonantly true . . . For conservatives and liberals, or for anyone bent double under the weight of political earnestness, Republican Party Reptile is a wonderful bonus indeed' Wall Street Journal 'He is funny. As with Evelyn Waugh, I can see why he makes me laugh, but I can't see why he makes me laugh so much' Chris Peachment, The Times 'The funniest wind-up artist to emerge from America since Hunter S.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. P. J. O'Rourke explores the complexities of modern conflict and intervention. In Kosovo, he reflects on America's delayed responses to injustice, humorously noting, "Wherever there's injustice, oppression, and suffering, America will show up six months late and bomb the country next to where it's happening." His journey takes him to Israel during the intifada, where he muses on the implications of people returning to ancestral homes after long absences, a scenario familiar to many parents. In Egypt post-9/11, he grapples with the question of why the Middle East seems chaotic, suggesting that such behavior has roots in humanity's early days. O'Rourke also critiques the influence of French culture on global morality, observing that whatever direction France points--be it toward collaboration with Nazis or existentialism--others can feel justified in choosing the opposite path. His travels culminate in Baghdad, where he stands in one of Saddam's palaces and quips that "felony interior decorating" could justify the invasion. Through humor and keen observation, O'Rourke offers a unique perspective on the absurdities of war and the complexities of international relations.…

Softcover. Condizione: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. With his latest national best seller, Peace Kills, P.J. O'Rourke casts his ever-shrewd and mordant eye on America's latest adventures in warfare. Imperialism has never been more fun.To unravel the mysteries of war, O'Rourke first visits "Wherever there's injustice, oppression, and suffering, America will show up six months later and bomb the country next to where it's happening." He travels to Israel at the outbreak of the intifada. He flies to Egypt in the wake of the 9/11 terrorists' attacks and contemplates bygone lunacies. "Why are the people in the Middle East so crazy? Here, at the pyramids, was an answer from the earliest days of People have always been crazy." He covers the demonstrations and the denunciations of war. "A moral compass needle needs a butt end. Wherever direction France is pointing-toward collaboration with Nazis, accommodation with communists, existentialism, Jerry Lewis, or a UN resolution veto-we can go the other way with a quiet conscience." Finally he arrives in Baghdad with the U.S. Army and, standing in one of Saddam's palaces, decides, "If a reason for invading Iraq was needed, felony interior decorating would have sufficed.".…
