In this follow-up to Toxic Talk, his look at the right-wing media’s control of the political debate, Press focuses on how the right’s rhetoric has escalated to the point of slander. While personal attacks on a president are nothing new, Press argues that the volume of unsubstantiated assertions against President Obama—often driven by corporate interests—breaks new ground.

Impressive as it was, the successful strike against bin Laden was the exception to, rather than the rule of, U.S. military-intelligence operations, Aid argues. In his comprehensive look at the country’s massive spy network, from policy to technology, personnel to budget, the author of Secret Sentry, investigates the gap between the resources devoted to intelligence and the often disappointing results.
