So, you think George Bush is an evil sonovabitch? After you hear Palast, you’ll think worse -- and have the awful facts to back it up. Author of the huge bestsellers,
The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and Armed Madhouse, “America’s best investigative reporter
-- and the funniest” (Randi Rhodes), Palast will reveal the sordid secrets and strange tales of a White House gone wild. Laugh, then scream.
When Greg Palast, an investigator of corporate fraud and racketeering, turned his skills to journalism he was quickly recognized as "the most important investigative reporter of our time" in Britain, where his first reports appeared on BBC television and in the Guardian newspapers.
Author of the New York Times bestsellers, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and Armed Madhouse, Palast is best known in his native USA as the journalist who, for the UK's Observer, first broke the story of how Governor Jeb Bush had thousands of Black Florida citizens purged from voter rolls before the 2000 election, thereby handing the White House to his brother George W. Palast's Sam Spade-style television exposÈs about elections manipulations, the War on Terror and globalization, are frequently seen on BBC's Newsnight and Amy Goodman's Democracy Now!
Palast was awarded the ACLU's Upton Sinclair Freedom of Expression Award and his writings have won the Financial Times' David Thomas Prize. In the BBC documentary, Bush Family Fortunes, Palast exposed George Bush Jr.'s dodging the Vietnam War draft and won the George Orwell Courage in Journalism Award.
Penguin releases Palast's new book, Armed Madhouse: From Baghdad to New Orleans -- Sordid Secrets and Strange Tales of a White House Gone Wild in paperback on April, 2007
