COMMUNITY REVIEWS

THE GHOST by Robert Harris (spoiler) submitted by wfzimmerman on November 6, 2007, 9:40am This is a deeply silly book, a roman a clef about Tony Blair and his horrible foreign policy of allying with America.

Spoiler Warning:

the denouement reveals the explanation for Blair's massively unpopular alliance with America during the Iraq war: his wife was recruited by the CIA when she was at Harvard in 1976.

Really, if you want an intelligent take on current international affairs, try Vincente Fox's memoir, in which he comments that he (Fox) is absolutely confident that Bush believes that he has done the right things, and that the great irony is that of course, Bush could not be more wrong.
