Landau addresses the vast gulf that lies between the romanticised wholesome image of US suburban life and the often scandal-ridden truth that is the reality. This book is not about the shallowness of one president or the culture of corruption that he embodies. It is an appeal for citizens to re-address their reality, stop allowing themselves to be manipulated and instead play an active role in the long historical drama. Includes a foreword by Gore Vidal.
