BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)

Just released, the BuzzFlash copies of "Neck Deep" are signed by the lead author, Robert Parry.

Parry is a former AP and Newsweek reporter, who runs one of our favorite websites, Consortiumnews.com. Parry is a mainstream journalist who came in from the cold, having seen the duplicity and buried truth that came out of governmental misdeeds in Central America and Iran-Contra.

Consortiumnews, launched way back in 1995, has been a key source of analytical commentaries exposing the right wing for their betrayal of the Constitution and democracy.

"A real-life who-done-it, Neck Deep unravels what may become one of history's great mysteries: Who killed the American Republic?

How did plutocrat George W. Bush come to lead the United States at the start of the 21st century - and how did he get away with using the 9/11 tragedy to overwhelm the constitutional safeguards that had protected the nation's liberties for more than two centuries?

Neck Deep shows how this crime was committed and then lines up the suspects - aggressive Republicans, accommodating Democrats, abrasive pundits, careerist journalists - for an assessment of collective guilt."

A solid overview of the nightmarish years known as the Bush Administration.

"It was a perfect storm that has been building for a quarter of a century," says Parry. "Aggressive Republicans, accommodating Democrats,and a press corps driven more by careerism than a search for truth have caused our country to become what the Founders fought against."
