内容简介

In 2003, George Soros published the controversial international bestseller, The Bubble of American Supremacy - a powerful and persuasive indictment of the Bush Administration's foreign policy and its invasion of Iraq. He predicted dire consequences to our brash, unilateral actions. The past year has proven these predictions prophetic. Now Soros is racing to get his message to America again. Before the 2004 presidential election is decided. Before it is too late. America, he argues, cannot afford another Bush Administration. And in The Bubble of American Supremacy he makes why abundantly clear. Contrary to what they claim, Soros contends that the policies of the Bush Administration have endangered the safety of our people, undermined the most fundamental American values, and set back the vital interests of our nation. Nowhere is this more clear than Iraq, Soros writes, where the Bush war and occupation have cost 1,000 American lives nearly $150 billion in taxpayers dollars, and severely eroded our global reputation. There is still hope to recover some of what we have lost. That hope lives, or dies, with the 2004 presidential election. If the electorate rejects Bush in 2004, Soros argues, America may - with a constructive new vision - recoup something of its former standing in the world. But if Bush is re-elected, he argues, the American people will have endorsed the Administration's policies. The cost of that will be enormous. And it will be ours to pay. George Soros wants to remind America of the real costs of Bush's war in Iraq - and the true stakes of the 2004 presidential election. More than timely, his message is urgent. It needs to be heard. That's why we are rushing the paperback edition of The Bubble of American Supremacy to stores this October, before this crucial election takes place.
