"George W. Bush is a liar. He has lied large and small, directly and by omission. He has mugged the truth--not merely in honest error, but deliberately, consistently, and repeatedly." --from the Introduction

In this scathing indictment of the president and his inner circle, David Corn, the Washington editor of The Nation, reveals and examines the deceptions at the heart of the Bush presidency. In a stunning work of journalism, he details and substantiates the many times the Bush administration has knowingly and intentionally misled the American public to advance its own interests and agenda, including:
Brazenly mischaracterizing intelligence and resorting to deceptive arguments to whip up public support for war with Iraq
Misrepresenting the provisions and effects of the president's supersized tax cuts
