Overview

Updated Edition With her trademark passion, intelligence, and lacerating wit, Arianna Huffington describes how the American government was hijacked by a radical fringe of the Republican Party and tallies the damage it has done to the country since the election of George Bush in 2000 through the divisive McCain-Palin campaign of 2008. Right Is Wrong is a blistering account of how right-wing zealots have used fear and deception to promote policies that have given America a seemingly endless war in Iraq, a devastated economy, a health care system on life support, a war on science and reason, and an immoral embrace of torture. A withering indictment of a dark chapter in American history, informed by hope for a brighter future, Right Is Wrong is an explosive and incisive work.
