<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the long-awaited conclusion to his bestselling trilogy, Vidal has written his most devastating exploration of Imperial America to date. "Not since the 1846 attack on Mexico in order to seize California," he writes, "has an American government been so nakedly predatory."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Gore Vidal has been described as the last 'noble defender of the American republic. In Imperial America, Vidal steals the thunder of a right wing America -- those who have camouflaged their extremist rhetoric in the Old Glory and the Red, White, and Blue -- by demonstrating that those whose protest arbitrary and secret government, those who defend the bill of rights, those who seek to restrain America's international power, are the true patriots. Those Americans who refuse to plunge blindly into the maelstrom of European and Asiatic politics are not defeatist or neurotic, he writes. They are giving evidence of sanity, not cowardice, of adult thinking as distinguished from infantilism. They intend to preserve and defend the Republic. America is not to be Rome or Britain. It is to be America.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Gore Vidal</b> is the author of twenty-two novels, five screenplays, more than two hundred essays, and a memoir. Winner of the National Book Award for <i>United Sates: essays 1952-92</i>, Vidal lives in Los Angeles.
