No, not corporate, not military and not crony capitalists. New Deal educated Keynesians. A fleet of them.

For those of you who may be on the fence about impeachment, this historical look at neo-con-ism is the most important book written in this decade. She doesn't make the case for that (with 100 pages to go, I am assuming), but presents the historical story that will positively blow your minds about its roots.
