First published 1996
Michael Moore, the irrepressible everyman's hero, takes no prisoners as he exposes the underbelly of American corporate and political power. From lusting after the First Lady to sending campaign contributions to Pat Buchanan from the John Wayne Gacy Fan Club, Moore's biting humor and working-class voice lambast the elite who have made life tougher for the millions of Americans struggling to save their American dream. Packed with irreverent intelligence and concrete examples, this is the perfect antidote to the mind-numbing throb of the election year.
