America Alone by Stefan Halper and Jonathan Clarke

To see into the soul of President George W. Bush's government, you have to understand the neoconservative movement in the United States. This book is an excellent place to start.

The critique "authoritarianism overseas generates authoritarianism at home" is all the more powerful coming from two respected conservative thinkers.
