Washington's Watchdog Author, September 17, 2003
Reviewer: Karen De Coster (see more about me) from Clinton Township, MI USA

Jim Bovard, in the words of the Orange County Register, is "Washington's most hated truth-teller." In his latest book, _Terrorism and Tyranny: Trampling Freedom, Justice, and Peace to Rid the World of Evil_, he sustains that long-standing reputation with surefire dignity and aplomb.

You get a feeling about a book and its author, when, in the book's very first sentence, he rivets you to your chair with jackhammer force by stating that "the war on terrorism is the first political growth industry of the new millennium." The rest of the book falls out from that thesis, as Bovard takes the reader on a journey through the war on terrorism, starting with the mostly forgotten Reagan crusade, and onward through to the Bush cabal.

Jim Bovard is, without a doubt, the best political researcher-writer in politics today. While most writers add a few footnotes to their writing, Bovard adds some first-rate writing to his immaculate set of footnotes. He doesn't make wild judgments or blanket allegations; he provides an encyclopedia's worth of timely quotes laid out in chronological fashion to funnel the reader through an extensive framework of US government double-dealing, coercion, corruption, and propaganda milling.

Perhaps the most unforeseen and brilliant facet of Bovard's chronology is his application of the war on terror's inauguration as being firmly planted in the Ronald Reagan camp. It's as if he expected the reader to forgive and forget, or at least not conjure up those deep-rooted memories in light of the Bush administration's tyranny spree.
