Al Gore

A powerful indictment of the Bush-led radical Right's disdain for the principles of reasoned decision-making, and a rallying cry for a return to reason-based policies at home and abroad.

The Assault on Reason

Albert Gore

An analysis of the consequences of the current administration's fear, secrecy, and faith-based initiatives explains how the Bush administration has dangerously compromised America's capacity for addressing long-term challenges, from national security and the environment to health care and economic stability.

This book gets a star for its purpose and topics, and a star for its succinct conclusion.

But I could not read more than three pages of this book without being bored out of my mind. It is dull, incredibly repetitive, full of way too many quotes, and there is a clear vitriol toward the Bush administration partly through their incompetence, and partly because Gore lost the election and needed a platform to get his anger out on. This book should have been amazing and well-measured, but came across as tiring and uninspired. I wouldn't recommend.
