One Nation Under Fear

Scaredy-Cats and Fear-Mongers in the Home of the Brave, And What You Can Do About It

By Bob Cesca, Foreword by Arianna Huffington

"Bob Cesca is easily one of the most incisive political writers on the scene today. Nobody else can make me think, laugh and cry–all at once–by simply giving his take on the corrupt political establishment that runs things in Washington."
— Cliff Schecter, author The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn't

In post-9/11 America, authoritarians and politicians are happily leaning on the panic button for fun, profit, and the ongoing oppression of a frightened populace. This timely book examines that fear: where it came from, how it's promoted, and what can be done about it. Author Bob Cesca hits a bracingly wide range of targets — the right-wing noise machine, climate change deniers, creeping fascism from the Bush White House — before presenting a sober, sensible plan for fighting and overcoming this potentially irreversible trend.
