The President of Good and Evil

@book{citeulike:2919160, abstract = {**The New York Times bestseller book every American should read before voting in the 2004 elections** More than any president in recent memory, George W. Bush invokes the language of good versus evil and right versus wrong. Here, world-renowned Princeton University professor of ethics Peter Singer shines a spotlight on Bush, analyzing whether or not he has lived up to the values he so often touts in his presidential prose. Called "timely and searching," by the \_Washington Post\_, this accessible look at the president reveals his pattern of ethical confusion and self-contradiction, and his moral failure on dozens of hot- button issues. Labeled a "generous critic" by the \_New York Times\_, Singer advances devastating arguments that make this the book to give to anyone thinking of voting for George W. Bush in November 2004. "George W. Bush has met his match. This is a chilling and powerful intellectual indictment of an administration desperate to cover up the damage it inflicts." - David Corn, author of \_The Lies of George W. Bush\_ and Washington editor of \_The Nation\_ "Even Bush supporters will have to admit that, in an age of diatribe, this book elevates the level of political discourse. The more American voters who read it, the better." - Robert Wright, author of \_Nonzero\_ and \_The Moral Animal\_ "Mr. Singer's influence extends to the world beyond the ivory tower partly because he writes with such lucidity and quiet passion about genuinely pressing issues." - \_The Economist\_}, author = {Singer, Peter }, citeulike-article-id = {2919160}, howpublished = {Paperback}, isbn = {0452286220}, keywords = {phi-301}, month = {August}, posted-at = {2008-06-23 16:49:38}, priority = {2}, publisher = {Plume}, title = {The President of Good and Evil}, url = {http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=citeulike09-20\&path=ASIN/0452286220}, year = {2004} }
