Synopsis

In the book, Kennedy is fiercely critical of George Bush, accusing him of undermining democracy and damaging the environment. The book's criticism includes the lobbying efforts of American oil company Halliburton, and Bush's appointment of Gale Norton to the role of Interior Secretary.[2]

The book focusses on the fossil fuel industry, the American beef industry and lumber industry,[2] documenting carbon dioxide output and poisoning from mercury and arsenic.[3][2]
