Oedipus Tex, Invisible WMD’s and the Axis of Circumcision
Run, don’t walk (go to Amazon if you must), to buy Craig Unger’s brilliant new book The Fall of the House of Bush. Forget about the clash of civilizations between Islam and the West. Unger’s subject is the war that really matters: the one between Islamic, Jewish, and Christian fundamentalists on one side, and the scientific (reality-based!) post-Enlightenment world that some of us still prefer to inhabit. A veteran magazine writer and author of the 2004 best-seller House of Bush, House of Saud, Unger combines reams of original reporting (he went undercover with a group of Evangelical tourists to “walk where Jesus walked”) and all the previously available data to produce the rarest kind of political book—a page-turner that reads like a grim thriller.
