From 'The Most Important Voice To Have Entered The Political Discourse In Years' (Bill Moyers), A Scathing Critique Of The Twotiered System Of Justice That Has Emerged In Americafrom The Nation'S Beginnings, The Law Was To Be The Great Equalizer In American Life, The Guarantor Of A Common Set Of Rules For All. But Over The Past Four Decades, The Principle Of Equality Before The Law Has Been Effectively Abolished. Instead, A Twotiered System Of Justice Ensures That The Country'S Political And Financial Class Is Virtually Immune From Prosecution, Licensed To Act Without Restraint, While The Politically Powerless Are Imprisoned With Greater Ease And In Greater Numbers Than In Any Other Country In The World.Starting With Watergate, Continuing On Through The Irancontra Scandal, And Culminating With Obama'S Shielding Of Bushera Officials From Prosecution, Glenn Greenwald Lays Bare The Mechanisms That Have Come To Shield The Elite From Accountability. He Shows How The Media, Both Political Parties, And The Courts Have Abetted A Process That Has Produced Torture, War Crimes, Domestic Spying, And Financial Fraud.Cogent, Sharp, And Urgent, This Is A Noholdsbarred Indictment Of A Profoundly Unamerican System That Sanctions Immunity At The Top And Mercilessness For Everyone Else.
