Palast's The Best Democracy Money Can Buy topped
the New York Times bestseller list for seven months.
The
top BBC Television investigative sleuth gets the
stories even before they are headlines. In his new
bestseller, Armed Madhouse, Palast gets his hands
on the internal emails from Karl Rove's office scheming
to fix the vote. Well before US press tripped on
the story, Palast in Armed Madhouse speaks with
a US attorney about to be fired about the pressure
to bring phony prosecutions.
Here's
the latest of what Britain's Guardian calls, "investigations
up there with Woodward and Bernstein-and a lot funnier."
In ARMED MADHOUSE: From Baghdad to New Orleans-Sordid
Secrets & Strange Tales of a White House GONE
WILD (Plume; April 24, 2007; $15.00) Palast, former
racketeering investigator, gives you the facts you
don't get from the Powers That Be.
In
his most provocative book yet, Palast's facts are
as brutal as they are funny, on:
- Iraq - what you haven't been told:
If you thought George Bush has a secret plan to
seize Iraq's oil, you're wrong. He had two. Palast
dug them out and shows you both. ("The Iraq
story reads like a spy thriller" - Robert Kennedy
Jr., Air America.)
-
Rove's Plan to Steal 2008. Palast was the
reporter who in 2000, uncovered how Katherine Harris
and Jeb Bush purged thousands of Black citizens
from Florida voter rolls. In new chapter, he lays
out, from the confidential files of Karl Rove. Here's
what you haven't been told: 3 million ballots were
cast but not counted in 2004 -- courtesy of Rove's
"caging lists," "felons of the future,"
and the un-dead's affection for George W. Bush …
and how they'll do it again in 2008.
-
Who's Afraid of Osama Wolf? "So Osama
walks into this bar, see …" Palast digs
into the macabre fun and folly of the war on terror.
And he tells you who spiked the FBI's investigation
of the bin Ladens. Palast shows you the documents.
· The World As a Company Town. Palast pushes
Thomas Friedman of his "Flat World" --
plus: the coming assassination of Hugo Chavez.
-
"Busted." In 2006, Palast was
charged with violating anti-terror law by the Department
of Homeland Security while uncovering the true story
of the drowing of New Orleans. Palast wiggled out
of the nutty charges, and now brings you the story,
horrific and darkly hilarious, of how the White
House buried the information that would have saved
New Orleans.
Award-winning journalist for BBC Television Newsnight,
Palast's wit, humor and unique knowledge of the
hidden stories behind the front pages have made
him guest to remember on Washington Journal, Air
America's Randi Rhodes, Hannity and Colmes, Neil
Cavuto's Your World and on over 200 local broadcasters.
Palast launches a 10-city tour beginning April 21. |
