Summary

In her first book, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd delivers a scorching illumination of the Bush administration's fractured adventures in empire-building.

Author Biography

A Washington, D.C., native, Maureen Dowd became a columnist for the New York Times op-ed page in 1995, after reporting on the Reagan, Bush I and Clinton White Houses. She is now covering her sixth presidential campaign-and the second generation of Bush presidents who went to war with the same Iraqi dictator. Before becoming a columnist for the Times op-ed page, she wrote a column, "On Washington," for The New York Times Magazine. She won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commentary in 1999 for chronicling the Clinton impeachment follies, as the Times entry put it, "with style as well as insight, with faultless instinct for hypocrisy in high places."
