Klappentext zu „Savage Mules: The Democrats and Endless War “
Americans see the Democratic Party as the anti-war party: vacillating flipfloppersin the eyes of conservatives; or, in the liberal view, restrained, measured
wagers of war as "last resort." In November 2006, voters put the Democrats into
Congress to bring an end to the Iraq war. Yet the Democrats supported the
"surge," giving Bush more money than he himself requested, and voted through
the next $459.6 billion defense budget. In this hard-hitting examination of their
role in the War on Terror, political analyst and satirist Dennis Perrin shatters the
myth of the reluctant-warrior Democrats. He explores Democrat collusion in the
invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and support for Israeli assaults on Gaza and
Lebanon, while revealing their overlooked appetite for planning wars and
selling them to the electorate. Compelling and bleakly humorous, Savage Mules
shows a party at odds with its public image on this key issue in the race for the
White House.

Rezension zu „Savage Mules: The Democrats and Endless War “
Praise for Mr Mike: The Life and Work of Michael O'Donoghue, The Man Who Made Comedy Dangerous"Michael O'Donoghue was the most innovative satirist of his generation. Thankfully, this book
forsakes the tabloid sensationalism of so many less show-business biographies, and honestly captures
its subject and his unique creativity. I loved it." Chevy Chase
"Laughter is a faculty that supposedly separates us from the beasts. But there is such
a thing as a comedy animal, and Dennis Perrin has netted him with great aplomb.
Humor, in the right hands, is no laughing matter." Christopher Hitchens
Praise for American Fan: Sports Mania and the Culture That Feeds It
"A humorous yet unsparing look at us-the sporting public." USA Today
"Fascinating." New York Times Book Review
