- Summary:
- For the past seven years The New York Review of Books has critically examined the Bush administration's policies at home and abroad. In this collection of essays, nine of the Review's contributors assess the human and political costs of the war on terror and the occupation of Iraq, and look ahead to the issues shaping the 2008 election campaign and to the challenges and opportunities that will face America and the new administration after Bush leaves Washington. The Consequences to Come includes: Joan Didion on Dick Cheney, Joseph Lelyveld on the indefinite detention of "illegal enemy combatants", Mark Danner on new evidence of Bush's determination to invade Iraq, Peter Galbraith on how Iran has benefited from the US occupation of Iraq, Jonathan Freedland on the failures of Bush's foreign policy, Jonathan Raban on the fragmentation of Karl Rove's Republican majority, Frank Rich on new ideas for Democrats, Michael Tomasky on the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. on history and national stupidity.
