Lädt ... Die Lügen des George W. Bush. Über Dichtung und Wahrheit in der amerikanischen Politik177 | 1 | 154,410 |
(3.56) | 3 | All American presidents have lied, but George W. Bush has relentlessly abused the truth. In this scathing indictment of the president and his inner circle, David Corn, the Washington editor of The Nation, reveals and examines the deceptions at the heart of the Bush presidency.
