ELIOT WEINBERGER

With wit and anger, the author of the

blackly comic What I Heard About Iraq

takes us through the administration of

the ‘Bush junta’. Eliot Weinberger begins

with the inauguration of George W. Bush

and the actions and policies that presaged

an invasion of Iraq even before the

terrorist attack of 9/11. Giving a moving

account of downtown Manhattan, where

he lives, on the day after the attack, he

accounts for the feeling of lost innocence

in the United States. In the aftermath of

9/11, Weinberger goes on to excoriate

the Bush administration for its panic

peddling and massive and secret arrests

of ‘suspects,’ as well as the contrived

‘intelligence’ that led to the war on Iraq.

Ranging from personal journalism to

political analysis, Eliot Weinberger traces

the nightmarish absurdities of the Bush

administration with incisive elegance.

Includes What I Heard About Iraq in

2005, the sequel to his earlier work.

What Happened Here was nominated

for a 2006 National Book Critics Circle

Award for Criticism.
