Zusatztext "A penetrating and highly disturbing portrait of many of the major players in Republican politics and power ... riveting." - Booklist ! starred review "A fierce indictment of Republican politicians ... the sheer outrage in Dean´s book has power of its own." - Chicago Tribune Informationen zum Autor John W. Dean Klappentext On the heels of his national bestseller Worse Than Watergate , John Dean takes a critical look at the current conservative movement In Conservatives Without Conscience , John Dean places the conservative movement's inner circle of leaders in the Republican Party under scrutiny. Dean finds their policies and mind- set to be fundamentally authoritarian, and as such, a danger to democracy. By examining the legacies of such old-line conservatives as J. Edgar Hoover, Spiro Agnew, and Phyllis Schlafly and of such current figures as Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, and leaders of the Religious Right, Dean presents an alarming record of abuses of power. His trenchant analysis of how conservatism has lost its bearings serves as a chilling warning and a stirring inspiration to safeguard constitutional principles.
