Description
Book SynopsisHow and why America has changed after 9/11
Trade Review'I know of no-one like Saul Landau. He's an Euripides and a stand-up comic. Has the precision of a laboratory assistant and the courage of a matador. Open this book and listen over the phone to a guy reporting from, as it were, the Oval Office of the square crooks now running the U.S. and world economy. You'll believe him, laugh with him, weep and get off your arse' -- John Berger
