About the Book

The atop journalist in America and the funniesta (Randi Rhodes, "Air America"), takes his previous "New York Times" bestseller a step further with hot undercover dispatchesa hanging out the dirty underpants of the aarmed and dangerous clowns that rule us.a
A White House spokesman said, aWe hate that sonovabitch.a Theyare not alone: From corporate suites to Osamaas cave, they fear what Britainas "Guardian" calls ainvestigations up there with Woodward and Bernsteinaand a lot funnier.a But Greg Palastas fanatic following (nearly two million readers of his Web column) has made him aa cult fave among progressivesa ("Village Voice") who canat wait for his next release.

Palastas old-style gum-shoe detective work to dig out the info on the War on Terror, greed- dripping schemes to seize little nations with lots of oil, the hidden program to steal the 2008 election, and the media biases that keep it unreported are the meat and bones of this BBC television reporteras new book. "Armed Madhouse" is illustrated with dozens of documents marked asecreta and aconfidentiala that have walked out of file cabinets and fallen into Palastas hands.

You wonat find Palast in "The New York Times" (except its bestseller list), but you will read his reports on the hottest Web sites worldwide, hear him regularly on "Air America" and the "Pacifica" radio networks, and see his stories reappearing as the basis for Eminemas hit video aMosh, a Michael Mooreas "Fahrenheit 9/11," and sampled by a dozen of todayas top platinum rock artists.
