About this title: Dick Cheney is the most powerful yet most unpopular vice president in U.S. history. He has thrived alongside a president who from day one had little interest in policy and limited experience in the ways of Washington. Yet Cheney's quiet, steady rise to prominence over a span of three decades occurred largely behind the scenes. Now veteran reporters Lou Dubose and Jake Bernstein reveal the disturbing truth about the man who has successfully co-opted executive control over the U.S. government, serving as the de facto "shadow president" of the most dominant White House in a generation. read more

"I write this after reading just a few pages and looking ahead at a few places: This book is maddening, infuriating. Where is the outrage in our nation at these jackels feasting on us!?!
Great book, but I have stopped reading at page 34. I CAN'T STAND IT ANY LONGER!
Where is the outrage? Why isn't this man in jail? Why are we allowing this man to take our country from us?"
"If you want to know what makes our current VP the person he is, then this is an excellent book. It's amazing how much I learned about the man from reading this book. I don't want to judge him here, but I will say the authors are the same people who wrote 'bushwacked', so that should give you a view into the slant of the book. It was a very educational read and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the true power behind the scenes."
"Not the best written book I've read in a while, but an some what expose on our Vice President. In a nutshell, Cheney is an unhinged paranoid lunatic who hates democracy wrapped up in a body that looks like a mushroom. Many people have suspected this already, but this book lays out the proof. While we Americans have been blissfully unaware, Dick Cheney has spent the last 30 years of his life persistently working to undermine our constitutional system of checks and balances to enhance the power of the executive. Cheney has his (carefully hidden) fingerprints on the sleaziest schemes that have plagued the Ford, Reagan, and Bush administrations (Iran-Contra, anyone?), as well as a key role in destroying the moderate Republican wing. He's also created a climate of fear and backstabbing that has Bush, his staff, and the Republican arm of congress forced to do his bidding or face political assassination. Basically all that is evil in the current administration comes from Cheney, and any sign of actual humanity (e.g. immigration reform) comes from Bush. Makes you hate Bush slightly less, and Cheney much more."
